The Pückler Park Branitz in Cottbus is hosting a discussion on climate change, with an open-air exhibition running from April 30th to October 31st. The exhibition, titled “Future Rich. Climate Change Branitz,” showcases the effects of climate change on the park’s natural elements, including the soil, water system, trees, and meadows. In addition to examining the impact of climate change on the park’s natural elements, the exhibition delves into the impact on buildings and museum operations within the castle rooms.
The curators of “Symbiotic Lab” aim to offer a new perspective on the Branitz park landscape through contemporary art interventions by artists Lea Grebe, Tayfun Erdogmus, and Jakob Kukula. The park is presented as a laboratory for the future, exploring the relationship between art and climate change.
The collaboration with the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Berlin-Brandenburg Foundation showcases “Historic Gardens in Climate Change” and highlights the regeneration of trees in Potsdam’s Sanssouci Park. The Castle Foundation will also host an open-air exhibition on the consequences of climate change in Sanssouci Park starting from the end of April. The exhibition aims to raise awareness about the impact of climate change on historic gardens and cultural heritage sites.
