This SNSF-funded project examines the roots of Derelict Landscapes increasingly deemed uninhabitable due to climate change. At the same time, it uncovers Curated Escapes built and planned by the ultra-wealthy in order to flee from global ecological disasters. From semi-arid farms in Southern Africa to ice caps of Antarctica, this project explores how such landscapes are shaped by notions of (un)inhabitability and refuge.

This event marks the launch of the project, which will run until 2030 in the Centre for African Studies. Join for a nice evening, and to learn about the team's brand new book which inspired this project – followed by an apéro.
