Ecology and Environment

The dynamic relationship between human communities and the natural world is central to many forms of artistic expression. Climate, geography, natural resources, and ecological change appear across artistic and material practices. Perspectives may highlight agricultural knowledge, water management, extractive industries, sacred landscapes, or creative responses to environmental crisis and renewal.
