Alberto Giuliani, Surviving Humanity

SURVIVING HUMANITY explores the future of humanity.

Climate change, demography, nuclear war, migrations. Following the experts opinion, in the coming decades we are going to face huge challenges. And for the first time in history, we are dealing with our survival. This work explores what science is doing around the world to face the future.

SURVIVING HUMANITY meets those unknown men and women handling with our destiny and narrates places where human being is organizing his resilience.

The project comes from the simple question of my children who, in front of the news raised by the media, asked: “How will the world be when we grow up?”. It is not easy to give a convincing answer in a such fast world but trying to understand how the life of the next generation will be, I realized that scientists and governments are already building our destinies, and it will be very different (or even geographically far) from what we can aspect.

SURVIVING HUMANITY already met: North Pole scientific base and Global Seed Vault (Arctic Svalbard), Cryopreservation centers (USA), institutes and universities working with humanoid robotics (Japan), NASA astronauts simulating life on Mars Hi-Seas IV NASA Mission (Hawaii), edible insect farming (Netherland), biosphere to preserve forest’s biodiversity (UK), dog cloning (Korea), Human Genomic research and China National GeneBank (China), the first Artificial Sun (Germany), luxury bunkers for civil communities (USA).
