How is nutmeg conntected to climate change? Or poppies to capitalism?
Like few others, the Indian author Amitav Ghosh is able to convey global entanglements and contradictions through his writing and imaginary. In his novels and nonfiction, he connects colonial histories with current issues of migration, global inequality, and the worldwide climate crisis in a factual as well as fantastic way. He immerses us in long-forgotten histories and worlds and challenges us to look at the crises of the present in new ways. In Bern, Amitav Ghosh will read from his works and engage in a dialogue with voices from research, activism, and arts.
A collaboration with the Institute of Social Anthropology at the University of Bern.
