Worlding Ecologies: Art, Science and Activism towards Climate Justice

How can art, science and institutional practices counteract the negative consequences of climate and ecological breakdown? Worlding Ecologies serves as both an anthology of case studies and a field guide. 18 scientists, artists, philosophers, activists, theorists and curators rigorously approach urgent ecological challenges including climate breakdown, pollution, biodiversity loss and environmental justice. Together, these voices emphasize the fundamental role of art as a vehicle and support structure for intersectional ecological thought. Structured in three sections―“Science and Climate Truth,” “Activism and Climate Justice” and “Social Justice in Institutional Ecosystems”―this reader unifies the fields of art, science, politics and ecology into a network of synthetic thought.
