Myth
Chiara Bersani's live installation 'Deserters' at Kunsthaus Baselland explores the representation of bodies with disabilities in mythology and their connection to nature. The exhibition, curated by Lorenzo Giusti and Ines Goldbach, was produced during Bersani's residency in Bergamo and won the 11th edition of the Italian Council program. It features a hand-knotted Nepalese tapestry made in collaboration with CC-tapis, performance elements, and audio descriptions. Bersani, along with performers Anna Maria Pes and Chiara Pintus, engages the audience in a physical dialogue, challenging stereotypes and fostering a communal perspective. The exhibition also includes machine-woven tapestries and drawings that invite physical interaction, emphasizing the interdependence of bodies through time and space.

How to reduce the carbon footprint of our pets?
Approximately 90 million EU households have pets, and pet ownership is on the rise, with 66% of US households expected to have a pet in 2023. The environmental impact of pets, particularly in terms of carbon emissions from pet food, is a growing concern. Luxaviation's CEO Patrick Hanson compared pet ownership to the pollution of private jets at the FT Business of Luxury summit. Greenpeace data shows private jets emitted 5.3 million tons of CO2 over three years. Pet food choices vary by country, with the US favoring chicken and Spain preferring beef, fish, and mixed wet food. A 2022 study found that feeding a 10 kg dog wet food results in 6.541 kg of CO2 emissions annually, while dry food reduces it to 828 kg. Sustainable pet food alternatives, such as those made from insects and plant ingredients, are emerging to reduce environmental impact. It's also important to choose pets that are suitable for the local environment to protect local wildlife.
