Luma Days #4 Online
This week discover a conversation with Julien Dossier, Author of Ecological Renaissance
In Transit: a Geography of Change
The 4th edition of Luma Days, forum of Art and Ideas will be convened through a series of exceptional events broadcast on Luma Lif{v}e, Luma’s new online media platform. Until the end of September 2020, you will discover a program of conferences, interviews and round tables, and some live broadcasts that will enrich and nourish the theme of Luma Days #4 « In Transit: A Geography of Change ».
The concept of transition is inherent in a time of change and renewal, leading to the transformation of how we deal with the environment, technology, economy, education, health… It calls for a global reconstruction of our systems. It is not limited to a state of mind about the world, but it allows for action to build a more resilient society.

Crisis or Metamorphosis?
Nantes (FR)
In a series of four video clips from an interview with Julien Dossier, a specialist in ecological transition strategies, we measure the impact of COVID-19. Anthropological changes, the regeneration of nature, the industrial reorganisation and the valorisation of the commons are at the heart of the processes to initiate the mutation towards the post-COVID society.
Julien Dossier, author of Ecological Renaissance. Twenty-Four Projects for Tomorrow’s World, and founder of Quattrolibri, a consulting firm specialised in ecological transition strategies.

About
WHAT IS LUMA DAYS?
Luma Days is a yearly forum of art and ideas. It brings together all the activities that compose Luma Arles’ program and kicks off the summer season with a week of public events, conferences, professional workshops, displays, and art installations.
During Luma Days, the city of Arles becomes a center of gravity in the Mediterranean region, where local and international experts, scientists, artists, thinkers, and activists converge with the general public to share ideas and experiences around topical issues.
Each year, Luma Days considers a theme linked to the preoccupations of the foundation and that can make a social impact. In 2017, Luma Days #1 developed Scenarios for a City in a Bioregion. In 2018, Luma Days #2 exchanges were devoted to Hospitality, Searching for Common Ground. In 2019, the theme explored for the third edition refers to one of the major challenges of our time: TOGETHER, a declaration of interdependence.

Previous editions
Luma Days #3 – TOGETHER, a Declaration of Interdependence
22 – 25 May 2019
The theme explored for this new edition refers to one of the major challenges of our time: TOGETHER, a declaration of interdependence
Why do we discuss interdependence today?
The concept of interdependence appeared in 1944 with the writings of the American philosopher and historian Will Durant, author of the first Declaration of Interdependence, a manifesto that claims the principles of equality and freedom as vectors of harmony. Over time, the notions of ethics, environment, ecology, have nourished the topic and its scope, as interdependence is not limited to the relations of human to human but of the human in the world, by taking into account the direct impact of the human imprint on the environment.
While collaborative structures have existed throughout time, the early 21st century brought a growing desire for interdependence, and the establishment of more concrete actions in this respect. In a « post-work » world, our way of living together and working together will be challenged. How can we balance the new interdependence between man and machine? How do we deal with governance, responsibly, and legislative and regulatory environment where these questions can be explored and resolved?
Luma Days #3 examines interdependence as a tool to forge new links between Arts and Culture, Environment and Human Rights, Education and Research.
As part of Luma Days #3, the exhibition A School of Schools: Design as Learning is the exceptional setting of the discussions and public events on the theme of interdependence.
Luma Days #2 – HOSPITALITY: Searching for Common Ground
14 – 19 May 2018
The theme of this second edition is Hospitality: Searching for Common Ground.
While hospitality is a fundamental value of any culture, linked to the timeless and universal ideal of profound affiliation, today it seems to have lost its true meaning, until recently adopting a contrary resonance.
Our project at the Parc des Ateliers, an interdisciplinary platform that produces and hosts artistic and cultural activities, was conceived as a site for hospitality. This theme is also inherent in the design of the site’s park and garden. Hospitality is an individual act and a collective action, that of course goes beyond the limits of the Parc des Atelier and affects every citizen in Arles and the Camargue region.
Throughout the week, several themes follow and nourish the exchanges around hospitality, such as climate change, design, territorial resilience, heritage, culture, foreign, identity… The Luma Nights host shows, performances and DJ sets and make way for enchantment and celebration.

Luma Days #1 – Scenarios for a City in a Bioregion
14 – 19 May 2017
This first edition of Luma Days, entitled Scenarios for a City in a Bioregion, presents an annual event created and designed by Luma Arles.
Located at the intersection of art, design, technology, activism and ecology, Luma Days act as a mediator between local and global and draw credible and sustainable scenarios thanks to the implementation of creative and collaborative processes.
During this event, the research and production work carried out by Atelier Luma is shared with the public, as this laboratory aims to place Arles on the map of platforms for reflection and innovation.
This first edition is created in collaboration with Ideas City and the New Museum in New York.
The stage is set to explore scenarios for the city of Arles and its rural context. Bringing together international and local experts and influencers, the weeklong workshops reflects on the possibilities and opportunities of five future city scenarios: 1/City of Culture & Agriculture; 2/ City as Campus: 3/ 21st Century Factory Town; 4/ UNESCO City 3.0, and 5/The Global Village.

A New World in Common
Chiang Mai (TH)
Through a conversation with Michel Bauwens – Belgian activist who has been working for years in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property – we will develop five different themes related to the current Covid-19 crisis as the “the great revealer and the great accelerator”. He will share with us his analysis on this uncertain period, giving us tools for an Economy that should serve the Common Good, based on contributions to create shared resources. He addresses issues relating to scale, to governance, to mediation, and how to build a better balanced long-term equilibrium.
