Barry Lord on Germany’s role in energy transition and cultural change: In this exclusive lecture based on his book “Art & Energy – How Culture Changes”, author Barry Lord will present his thesis on the interconnectedness of art & culture and energy with particular regard to German milestones and developments. Reaching from Martin Luther’s warning about deforestation and the earliest use of the term Nachhaltigkeit (sustainability) to, more recently, the role of nuclear energy in the rebuilding of the post-war economy, Lord will discuss Germany’s outstanding role in the renewable energy movement and the current Energiewende (withdrawal from nuclear energy).

Barry Lord is the Toronto-based president of the world-renowned Lord Cultural Resources and a former curator, art critic, art historian and museum educator.

Free admission. Books will be for sale and signing by the author.
