Take part in a discussion on music and sustainability in the heart of the temporary exhibition. Temporary exhibition. Sunday 1 June, 2 pm to 3.30 pm.

Whether you're streaming music from your kitchen or listening to the eclectic sounds of festivals this summer, how do you listen to and experience music?
Whether you look at it from the audience's point of view or that of the artists, we invite you to take part in a discussion on the theme of music and sustainability.
How do musical practices - whether those of listeners or artists - impact on the environment?
Can we produce, listen to and consume sustainable music? And how? What role do audiences play? What is the role of artists?
After identifying the current issues and the links between music and environmental impact, we invite you to take a diversion into the imaginary world to envisage the future of our musical practices.
What would be your dream ways of experiencing music in 2080?

This event takes place on the first Sunday of the month, so it's free and there's no need to register beforehand.
Through this series of 'think and act' events, we hope to explore with you the issues of climate change through the prism of MEG's specific characteristics. By tackling themes such as green colonialism, care, repair, food and clothing, as well as the transmission of knowledge and know-how and artivism, we hope to make the impact that our everyday actions can have on the environment more perceptible, and thus question our relationship with it.
