In Brief
In Brief Over fifteen years, GLOBAÏA has crafted visual presentations spanning the Anthropocene, climate habitability, biodiversity, Big History, and the cosmos -- designed for audiences ranging from school students to heads of state. These talks transform complex planetary science into compelling visual narratives that shift worldviews and inspire action.

Talks & Multimedia Presentations

GLOBAÏA began, in the first decade of the millennium, as a series of multimedia talks and workshops on cosmology, astronomy, planetology, climate, and biodiversity. To support those presentations, we started making our own visuals — illustrations, maps, diagrams, animations. That ancillary craft soon overtook the lectures themselves and became the centre of our work. We still give talks, and still enjoy them.

Over the years since, we have crafted visual presentations tailored to a range of audiences — young people, the general public, decision-makers. They have consistently revolved around the pressing concerns of our planetary moment: global warming, the biodiversity crisis, the long arc of Big History, and the transformation of cultural norms and values.
