The International Geography Festival (FIG) is being held in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges from October 2 to 4, with a focus on how landscapes can reveal today's major crises. This is the 37th edition of the event, which gathers researchers, writers, artists, journalists, and teachers to explore the meaning and significance of landscape. The festival’s scientific directors—Léa Sallenave, Anne Sgard, David Bédouret, Lolita Voisin, and Emmanuelle Boulineau—explain that in the Anthropocene, a term used to describe the current geological era in which human activity has a significant global impact, landscapes serve as a mirror to environmental and social challenges. They emphasize that the event aims to encourage collective reflection on human impact, particularly on the most vulnerable populations, and to imagine more harmonious futures. The festival will examine a wide range of topics, including threatened coastlines, changing urban and rural environments, and landscapes affected by war. These discussions aim to highlight how such landscapes reveal human vulnerabilities and ethical blind spots. The event will bring together over 250 activities, including lectures, panel discussions, workshops, and literary events, offering diverse perspectives on the theme. Among the notable guests is novelist Marie-Hélène Lafon, known for her exploration of cultural and historical themes. Geographer Magali Reghezza-Zitt will contribute her expertise on spatial and environmental issues. Designer Matali Crasset, known for her innovative approaches to architecture and urban planning, will also be present. Philosopher Joëlle Zask will address ethical and philosophical dimensions of the theme. Other distinguished guests include Irina Bokova, former general director of UNESCO and a Bulgarian diplomat, and Khalil Tafakji, a Palestinian geographer who has been documenting the colonization of occupied territories for many years. The festival aims to create a space for dialogue and reflection, connecting scientific research with artistic and literary expression. By focusing on landscape as a lens through which to view contemporary crises, the event encourages participants to think critically about the relationship between humans and the environment, and to consider the responsibilities that come with that relationship.
