The theme on the program in 2025–2026: experiences of nature
The relationship between man and nature has always oscillated between the fascination of the indomitable and the will of absolute mastery. Over the centuries, nature has been perceived as a relentless domain that had to be domesticed thanks to all techniques and sciences. But today, faced with the climate urgency, it is certain that the movement is reversed: there is no longer any question of dominating living things but on the contrary of integrating it in the same way as humans in our lifestyles, while giving them meaning.
