Art and Climate Change explores artistic responses to the ecological crisis. Artists create works that call for collective action to address threats to biological survival. By blending decolonial reparation and ecological restoration, they rewrite history using contemporary art forms and scientific theories.
In five chapters, Maja and Reuben Fowkes analyze artworks responding to the Anthropocene’s impact. They examine devastated landscapes, environmental injustice, and art from affected communities. The book covers painting, photography, conceptual art, installations, and performances, highlighting eco-conscious practices and a new artistic community.
Authors emphasize caring for marginalized and indigenous voices while addressing climate uncertainty, deforestation, toxicity, and species extinction. By proposing sustainable futures, artists reshape our planet’s history, documented in this illustrated book.
