English:

The Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes confronts the colonial foundations of unjust global systems driving the climate crisis through public hearings giving voice to marginalized communities against states and corporations.

D’Souza and Staal’s stunningly ambitious CICC defines a horizon beyond systems of property and world-ending climate crimes.
—T. J. Demos, author of Radical Futurisms: Ecologies of Collapse, Chronopolitics, and Justice-to-Come

D’Souza and Staal’s radical approach to the consideration of responsibilities and mutual respect, arrives to this modern, alienating and demeaning world as a bucket full of tiny papers with memories written on them.
—Ramón Vera-Herrera, GRAIN (Latin America) and edito Biodiversidad, Sustento y Culturas

The Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes (CICC) is a collaboration between Framer Framed, Indian academic, writer, lawyer and activist Radha D’Souza and Dutch artist Jonas Staal. The project consists of a large-scale installation in the form of a tribunal that prosecutes intergenerational climate crimes. The aim of the CICC is to prosecute climate crimes committed by states and corporations, not only in the past and present, but also in the future. Central to this book is the first iteration of the project, commissioned and staged by Framer Framed, Amsterdam, during which public hearings were held against the Dutch State and transnational corporations registered in the Netherlands: Unilever, ING and Airbus.

 

Nederlands:

Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes (CICC) confronteert de koloniale fundamenten van onrechtvaardige wereldwijde systemen die de klimaatcrisis aanjagen door middel van openbare hoorzittingen waar gemarginaliseerde gemeenschappen staten en bedrijven aanklagen.

D’Souza en Staal’s ambitieuze en verbluffende CICC definieert een horizon die zich uitstrekt voorbij systemen van eigendom en onwrichtende klimaatmisdaden.
—T. J. Demos, auteur van Radical Futurisms: Ecologies of Collapse, Chronopolitics, and Justice-to-Come

De radicale visie van D’Souza en Staal op verantwoordelijkheden en wederzijds respect komt in deze moderne, vervreemdende en vernederende wereld over als een kast vol kleine briefjes, beladen met herinneringen en getuigenissen.
— Ramón Vera-Herrera, GRAIN (Latijns-Amerika) en edito Biodiversidad, Sustento y Culturas

Deze publicatie bundelt het werk van academicus Radha D’Souza en de Nederlandse beeldend kunstenaar Jonas Staal.
