Abstract
Exploring the intersection of contemporary art, ecology, and non-human perspectives, this volume, featuring scholars and artist-researchers, rethinks traditional narratives in the face of ecological crises. It critically examines human-centric ideologies and environmental exploitation, engaging with issues of racial capitalism, colonial legacies, and the making of the Anthropocene. The collection highlights art’s potential role in exposing ecological injustices and envisioning new, sustainable ways of coexisting with non-human subjects on our planet, promoting collaborations between forms of knowledge across disciplinary divides. Can art be the catalyst that redefines our relationship with the planet and its myriad inhabitants in the face of unprecedented existential challenges? What types of knowledge can be gained from collaborations with biological, geological, and technological subjects?
