TBA21–Academy and Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza present the new edition of Organismo | Art in Applied Critical Ecologies, an experimental independent study program connecting research, theory, and speculation through a series of focused case studies—regenerative interventions that explore different forms of alliance.

The project aims to explore new methodologies and configurations of actors when working in the service of ecological transformation. Its foundational hypothesis is that the work of artists reinvigorating interdisciplinary projects has great potential to contribute to cultural paradigm shifts that can instigate new ways of inhabiting the planet and embrace both complexity and inclusivity.

Firm in the belief that situated knowledge is vital for addressing the complexities of contemporary ecological challenges, the program is structured by applied case studies.
