Andrea Conte

Andrea Conte, director of Andreco studio (www.andreco.org), works between art, science and climate justice. A visual artist with a PhD in Environmental Engineering, Andrea has conducted postdoctoral research on green technologies and Nature Based Solutions for rural and urban sustainability in collaboration with the University of Bologna and Columbia University, New York. His artistic research is focused on the relationship between the human and non-human; between artificial, urban environments and the natural landscape. At the intersection of art, science and activism, his multidisciplinary initiative, Climate Art Project (www.climateartproject.com) is exemplary of how his artistic and scientific research translates into direct forms of climate action. Andrea has participated in and exhibited in several international festivals, museums and galleries and serves as a lecturer for various art academies and universities where he teaches courses on urban planning, engineering, art theory and environmental humanities. The results of three of his projects — Climate Art Project, Flumen (about rivers) and Aula Verde (about art and urban forestry) — have recently been published among Nature’s Scientific Reports https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-51611-9 ).
