Abstract

This article presents artistic-educational actions, that intertwine scientific knowledge, the aesthetic languages of art and subjectivities, to promote the reflection on the society-nature link and to rethink, in a particular way, the connection between globalizing concepts such as the Anthropocene and our daily eating practices. The experience was carried out with undergraduate students from the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina) within the framework of the university extension project «Suturing the Earth» (2020-2021). t is argued that the inclusion of art fosters experimental, sensitive and situated learning that allows for the construction of new meanings to address the environmental problems that we are currently experiencing.
