In 2021, the University of Torino conceived a travelling exhibition entitled Language, Communication, and Perception of the Climate Crisis as part of the Lessico e Nuvole project, which includes a series of meetings, the publication of several educational books for non-specialists, a podcast series, and other initiatives. This contribution recounts the work of intersemiotic translation from the lemmas of the volume and publications of the three curators to the panels to be displayed within the exhibition. For each exhibition panel, the steps that led to the choice of elements to be included and some draft versions that show the work of transposition are described. The reflections with which the vignettes were designed are also recounted. The aim of the article is to reaffirm the importance of scientific dissemination, to offer suggestions to those who wish to design exhibition panels on linguistic topics, and to underline the contribution that even scientific disciplines not immediately connected to the climate crisis can make.
