Lena Schubert

Building on her study of the history of aesthetic, ecological and economic knowledge, she works with the collective Klasse Klima to establish spaces for the unlearning of extractivist epistemologies in the creative fields and beyond. The bottom-up initiative Klasse Klima was founded in 2019 at Berlin’s University of the Arts to translate demands for climate justice and degrowth into aesthetic education and practice. Today, Klasse Klima creates physical and virtual seminars and symposia for the collective negotiation of creative knowledge.
