This series explores conservation as process, ideology, and a field of practice shaped by – and shaping – territory, capital, and politics. Rather than treating conservation as a neutral endeavour, the series foregrounds its contradictions, contested objectives, and material consequences across different socio-spatial contexts – from Berlin, Athens, and Zurich to Nairobi. It brings together diverse voices capturing multiplicities of conservation, and thinks through its practices collectively. The programme contributes to conservation discourse and practices by reframing conservation as a social practice of repair – one that is historically grounded, politically engaged, and responsive to specific territorial conditions. Each session features a guest speaker and a discussion with invited respondents and the audience.
