What can creativity achieve in an era of ecocide? How are people using
creative and artistic practices to engage with (and resist) the
destruction of life on earth? What are the relationships between
creativity and repair in the face of escalating global environmental
crises? Across twelve compelling case studies, this book charts the
emergence of diverse forms of artistic practice and brings together
accounts of how artists, scholars and activists are creatively
responding to environmental destruction.
Highlighting alternative approaches to creativity in both conventional
art settings and daily life, the book demonstrates the major influence
that ecological thought has had on contemporary creative practices.
These are often more concerned with subtle processes of feeling,
experience and embodiment than they are with charismatic 'eco-art'
works. In doing so, this exploratory book develops a conception of
creativity as an anti-ecocide endeavour, and provides timely
theoretical and practical insights on art in an age of environmental
destruction.
