Events of Art and Education in Post-climate Times

"This book is concerned with the urgency of thinking and acting in response to climate change, through art and education. While both fields are often connected around disciplinary dialogues, the Anthropocene prompts a greater need to bring artists and educators together around common environmental problems and goals. Staging transcritical engagements, this book aims to address key environmental questions and challenges through the lens of educational and artistic practice. By taking such an approach, the book aims to draw out common and uncommon disciplinary perspectives that can generate new ways of thinking, living, and doing in the Anthropocene. Ideas around courage, and resilience, life and death emerge. Activism and aesthetics, radical theories and radical democracies are brought to bear on authoritarian capitalism and its drive to box liveable life in consumerism and violence. An expression of active, non-violent resistance to the ongoing destruction of our planet, this book supports imaginative action, popular sovereignty, and the need to live well within the challenges of our era. Engaging artists and educators around urgent environmental questions, this book maps important differences and potential intersections for further enquiry. The book will be useful for students studying art, education, environment and sustainability and climate change. It will also be of interest to researchers as well as practicing artists and teachers in these disciplines, by being at the forefront of current discussions in both fields"-- Provided by publisher.
