From March 12 to May 30 in the exhibition corridor next to the Sala d'Actes
Climate change is threatening rivers, lakes and wetlands across the globe, generating inequalities and discrimination that disproportionately affect women. From the disconformity, several women are also the voice of the most important movements for the defense and protection of these ecosystems. Unfortunately, we still forget women when we talk about climate change and water.
The exhibition Augmented ecofeminisms: climate, water and woman, organized by the Gender & Science AIL Group, of which IDAEA researcher Miguel Cañedo-Argüelles is a member, and funded by the Spanish Ministry of Equality invites reflection on the effects of climate change on freshwater ecosystems and their interaction with women. Through a journey that combines augmented reality with scientific, plastic and audiovisual material, the authors question the current management of environmental problems related to water; and explore potential futures based on alternative views to contemporary politics.
The Gender & Science AIL Group is an international network of researchers within the Iberian Association of Limnology (AIL) dedicated to promoting gender equality in freshwater science. The group works to raise awareness of gender biases, support women’s careers in limnology, and foster an inclusive research environment.
