Webinar Abstract

Artistic and curatorial practices increasingly explore how the lives of humans and animals are entangled in response to climate crisis and ongoing colonial inequality. Simultaneously, they centre interspecies relationality as a site of repair. In this webinar, we centre art as a medium for thinking and doing with animals as ecosystem agents and companions that face these crises alongside us, though not in the same way. How do artistic and curatorial practices reshape our understanding of the connection between art, aesthetics and ecology? And how might they invite art to move out of gallery spaces, and into the shared habitats where human and nonhuman lives are already deeply entwined?

Organised by AICA Forum Committee.
