Events of Art and Education in Post-climate Times

Omtale

This book concerns the urgency of thinking and acting in response to climate change through art and education. While both fields are often connected through disciplinary dialogues, climate change prompts a greater need to unite artists and educators around common environmental problems and goals. By staging transcritical engagements, this book draws out common and uncommon disciplinary perspectives that can generate new ways of thinking, living, and doing in the Anthropocene. Ideas around courage, resilience, life and death emerge. An expression of active, non-violent resistance to the ongoing destruction of our planet, this book supports imaginative action, popular sovereignty, and the courage to live well within the challenges of our era. Engaging artists’ and educators’ questions, it maps significant differences and potential intersections for further enquiry. Events of Art and Education in Post-climate Times will be helpful for students studying art, education, environment and sustainability, and climate change. It will also interest researchers, practicing artists and teachers in these disciplines by being at the forefront of current discussions in both fields.
