Upcoming: The Routledge Companion to Contemporary Art, Visual Culture, and Climate Change – Edited By T. J. Demos, Emily Eliza Scott, Subhankar Banerjee
International in scope, this volume brings together leading and emerging voices working at the intersection of contemporary art, visual culture, activism, and climate change, and addresses key questions, such as: why and how do art and visual culture, and their ethics and values, matter with regard to a world increasingly shaped by climate breakdown?
Foregrounding a decolonial and climate-justice-based approach, this book joins efforts within the environmental humanities in seeking to widen considerations of climate change as it intersects with social, political, and cultural realms. It simultaneously expands the nascent branches of ecocritical art history and visual culture, and builds toward the advancement of a robust and critical interdisciplinarity appropriate to the complex entanglements of climate change.
This book will be of special interest to scholars and practitioners of contemporary art and visual culture, environmental studies, cultural geography, and political ecology.
Art and Ecology (March 2020) — Marg Magazine — Co-edited by Ravi Agarwal and Latika Gupta
Introducing Marg’s first dedicated issue to art and ecology, the Associate Editor places the current magazine in the context of the severe climate crisis affecting earth and its human and more-than-human inhabitants. She provides the framework within which the essays in this volume will unpack and critically assess the term “Anthropocene” and provide counter-narratives from the Global South that challenge the assumptions and domination of the Global North. These include perspectives on gender, class, caste, labour, ritual and mythology. The larger aim is to look at aesthetic objects beyond the limited circuits of the commercial art world and get them to engage with environmental justice and social justice movements.
