Maria Lucia Cruz Correia has been collaborating with the Mladi Levi festival and Bunker for several years through the Imagine 2020 network, which has grown over the years from a network that sought to connect ecology and art with the common goal of raising awareness about climate change into a network that seeks to think in a more intersectional way, and – despite focusing on environment – is trying to think better (or less terrible) future through art, as well as to act.
