As a part of the upcoming exhibition-season CARBON, Science Gallery Bengaluru is hosting a residential summer school exploring the role of carbon in the Anthropocene.

By bringing together theoretical frameworks, the lab, the field, and the archives, the intention is to construct an interdisciplinary and socially engaged way to think about carbon. Using the rich resources of research and cultural institutions as well as community initiatives in Bangalore, the school will explore how carbon is an integral part of the city.

Participants will get to learn from the foremost scholars, artists, and activists in the field who are studying carbon through the lenses of sustainability and climate change. They will visit labs and field sites as well as community spaces to understand local challenges around the same. With guidance from mentors such as scientists, writers, artists, filmmakers, designers, participants will get to develop their own questions, creative interpretations or interventions around carbon in the city. These could become contributions to our next exhibition-season CARBON, tentatively scheduled for November 2022.
