Response-ability on trial is a transdisciplinary project which negotiates the idea of a (legal) Anthropocene in the - in between of - academia and art. Response-ability on trial brings together perspectives of climate litigation, more-than-human legalities, power and hegemony. Whose interests are recognized as rights? Who is granted legal access? Who is heard and whose words are left at the margins? Which idea of a common world is negotiated with whom?
