The archipelago of Venice is often at the centre of socio-ecological discussions due to its uniqueness and ambiguity. It is a world cultural heritage site and, at the same time, a fragile ecosystem, strongly threatened by the climate crisis and overtourism. This volume brings together scholars, artists, museum professionals and curators to show how Venice is a special observatory for addressing the challenges of the future and how the arts can contribute to an ecological transition and cultural regeneration.

Christina Hainzl (Dr. phil.) studied art history and political communication. She is Head of the transdisciplinary Society in Transition Research Lab at the University for Continuing Education Krems and an affiliated researcher in art ecologies at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
