SAN JOSE (AFP) – A beetle figurine mutating due to changes in its diet or seaweed made of plastic is part of a sample developed by artists in Costa Rica to depict the impact of climate change on their lands.
It consists of eight pieces using different techniques such as video, macrame (
tejido con nudos) sculpture and painting to illustrate the impact of global warming on the forests, insects and algae of the country, which is home to six per cent of the world’s biodiversity over an area of 51,000 square kilometres.
One of the curators, Fernando Chaves, told
AFP that the exhibition of works created specifically for the exhibition seeks to take the debate on climate change out of the scope of scientific work or climate journalism, to make it available to the public.
