Brigitte Baptiste in conversation with Mar Ortega

Transecology

 Centro de Formación de la Cooperación Española (Patio)
Read more

Brigitte Baptiste invites us to think in an alternative way: from the viewpoint of queer ecology. From watching what we consume, how we inhabit the planet, and the demographic future that awaits; as well as thinking about the digital revolution and an energy transition that is becoming more and more urgent, we will be prepared for a new cycle of transformations on Earth. The Colombian biologist and ecologist brings together seven essays that act as a guide, offering readers tools to work on these changes, in Transecología. Una guía patafísica para habitar las transformaciones del mundo. In conversation with Mar Ortega.

All events on Sunday, February 1st will be free for people with ID from the department of Bolívar. Complimentary tickets can be requested —up to capacity— at the box office of the Hay Festival (Centro de Convenciones) showing your identification on the same day the event is taking place.
