GEA 2076 in Padua: museum-installation on the climate crisis

As part of Padua Climate Action Week, the museum-installation GEA 2076 – Memories from the Future will be on show at Golena San Massimo. The artistic project stages, through an exaggerated narrative device, the impacts of climate change and the social and political responsibilities behind them.

Created by artist Alessandro Calizza for Greenpeace Italy, the installation features an accessible, interactive route divided into three thematic areas: causes, impacts and possible solutions. The aim is to translate complex data and scenarios into sensory experiences that prompt reflection and action.

Main program and highlights

• Sunday 19 April 2026 – Exhibition open at Golena San Massimo with free admission from 10:00 to 19:00. At 11:00 there will be a presentation of the book Questo clima deve cambiare by Daniele Pernigotti.
• Thursday 16 April 2026, 19:00 – Free screening of the documentary The Price We Pay at Cinema Rex, followed by a debate on climate responsibility of governments and companies.
• Monday 13 April 2026 – Participation in Climate Action Week sessions, including talks on causes and legal/strategic actions for climate justice.

Why visit

GEA 2076 works like a narrative time machine: visitors are projected fifty years ahead to experience how current inaction and profit-driven choices could lead to dystopian outcomes. The exhibition combines visual, installation and informational elements to communicate the urgency of issues such as extreme weather events and hydrogeological risk.

The show is suitable for a broad audience: citizens concerned about environmental issues, students, activists and contemporary art enthusiasts looking for an experiential approach to climate topics.
