The exhibition Caring for Naturecultures: Glaciers reconceives conservation as a practice of care spanning natural and cultural environments. Focusing on Alpine glaciers through an artistic lens, it presents them as “conservation objects” shaped by science, climate anxiety, and intervention, while also framing them as natureculture hybrids. Glaciers appear as living archives, preserving traces of human and planetary histories. The exhibition invites reflection on care in times of irreversible change, asking how conservation adapts when its subjects are unstable, melting, and alive.

“To be particularly observed, examined, and duly regulated are, above all, the physiological and psychological influences to which the working individual is subjected. Among their negative effects are to be reckoned, amongst others, premature fatigue, listlessness, discontent, lack of energy and unreliability. As such influences are to be enumerated: α) Heating and ventilation. β) Condition of the workplace. γ) Lighting. δ) Working hours, scheduling of breaks. ε) Monotony of work. ζ) Wage system. η) General political, social and domestic influences. θ) Social facilities. ι) Geopsychological influences.” (Entry on Psychotechnics in the Concise Dictionary of Work Science, edited by Prof. Dr. Fritz Giese. Carl Marhold Verlagsbuchhandlung Halle/Saale, 1930).

Recovering, documenting, and analyzing fanzines made by young people in Mendoza, Argentina, since the 1990s helps us understand the diverse experiences of youth political engagement. Together, these objects reveal how local generational experiences connect to broader struggles — across borders, across time — inviting reflection on both continuities and ruptures.
