Can we still talk of an Anthropocene Era? What is the planet’s culture as seen from the Moon? What is culture beyond the pandemic? – From the Moon the Earth seems to be a serenely beautiful sphere of blues, greens and whirling white clouds. From the moon, is where we can finally step back and look at the state of our planet; from the extinction and destruction being caused by climate change to the interlinked conflict and crises that is effecting our population. This podcast will look at Planet Earth as if we are broadcasting from the Moon, the distance allowing us to make sense of the immense beauty that sometimes coexists, but that can often disappear when faced with such grave challenges. Seven episodes of From the Moon will try and unpack the state of the planet via different, distinct topics that interweave and complement the XXIII Triennale theme. Bringing together the fields of design, innovation, science, art, philosophy and more besides, conversations broadcast From the Moon will offer solutions and warnings, they should inspire and critique in equal measure. The 2020 pandemic is of course present in all our consciousness, and rather than addressing this as its own topic or episode it has to be taken as a subtext of the whole podcast series. Some episodes will have particular resonance when it comes to assessing the impact and consequences of the Covid-19 crisis.
