Joanne Clavel is a contract researcher at the National Museum of Natural History, at Paris 8 University.
At the beginning of her career in scientific ecology, she studied the impact of global change (climate, land use) on biodiversity.
Today, she works in the environmental humanities - art, aesthetics, politics – after completing dance training at Paris 8 University, aesthetic mediation studies at Liege University in Belgium and environmental humanities at UCBerkeley.
The current ecocide calls for a radical change in our lifestyle and questions the role of the artist in society. Joanne explores the development of an ecological culture, or ecological “lifestyle”, in the world of art and investigates somatic practices for farmers and nature lovers.
Trained in music and dance, in 2008 she co-founded the artists collective Natural Movement in order to weave art and ecology together in different physical locations.
