The engagement with climate
justice reveals a complex field of perspectives across multiple temporalities, geographies, and forms of knowledge. In this
context, environmental destruction is entangled with economic interests, the uneven distribution of risks and responsibilities,
colonial continuities, imperialist power relations, and geological deep time.
The exhibition Future on Trial.
Between Unruly Evidence and Unfinished Climate Justice at the Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab moves between two
conceptions of justice. One that is produced and negotiated in courtrooms through scientific and legal evidence, data, and
visual investigations, and another that understands justice as an unfinished, collective process, grounded in Indigenous knowledge,
queer ecology, multispecies perspectives, and activism.
Through a dialogue
between artistic practices and scientific experts in the field of climate litigation, the exhibition opens up a space between
evidence and uncertainty, accusation and repair, institutional accountability and collective imagination.
