Worlding Ecologies: Art, Science and Activism Towards Climate Justice

Synopsis

Worlding Ecologies brings together artists, scientists, philosophers, activists, curators, and writers to explore how creative practice can respond to the intertwined crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and environmental injustice. Through eighteen essays, the collection examines the relationships between art, science, politics, and ecology, arguing that meaningful ecological change requires new ways of imagining and inhabiting the world.

Organized around the themes of climate science, environmental justice, and institutional practice, the book presents art not simply as a reflection of ecological crisis but as a catalyst for systemic transformation. Thought-provoking and interdisciplinary, Worlding Ecologies offers a hopeful vision of how creative and scientific knowledge can work together to build more just, regenerative, and more-than-human futures.
