In her presentation, she explored how creative practices can serve as catalysts for ecological restoration and social change, drawing on case studies such as "CLIMAVORE" by Cooking Sections and "Casa delle Agriculture" by Luigi Coppola. The paper introduced, for the first time, the upcoming project Field Hospital by Andrew Merritt, which Looking Forward is producing.


Proceedings from the conference will be published in the volume Sustainable Design, Art, and Innovation: A New Paradigm on Creative Practice - Volume 1 by Springer Nature.
