Art, Environment and Social Change

Description

The Art, Environment and Social Change Research Group identifies the triad of art, environment, and social change as key theoretical frameworks in responding to the current ecological crisis through the optics of art, beyond a narrow definition of art as a display of artefact. Current social stratification, inequalities, and conflicts are tied to ecological crisis, and creative practice, critical exploration of untested ideas and rigorous academic research can play a significant role in improving the current situations.

Bringing postgraduate students, internal and external researchers together, the group responds to the complex entanglement of forces making up a crisis. Acknowledging the importance of intricately weaving together both theoretical discourses and generative practices, the group provides a platform for discussing, imagining, devising, and developing new strategies, narratives, and practices in response to the situations in which the concerns relating to ecology can open passages towards more accountable and responsible positions.
