Earth Ethics: Art, Institutions and Regenerative Practices

In recent years, artists, curators and institutions have increasingly reckoned with their responsibilities to the places they inhabit, in light of human-driven environmental change and its effects on climate and biodiversity. At the same time, Indigenous peoples and land-based communities are sustaining ancestral ways of being, and revitalising creative and cultural practices that nurture reciprocal relationships with more-than-human worlds. Earth Ethics: Art, Institutions and Regenerative Practices brings together perspectives from practitioners who are rethinking the relationships between museums and galleries, artists, audiences and communities, and the specific places they inhabit. Rooted in Australian and First Nations contexts, this reader connects with innovative work across the globe through diverse case studies that demonstrate how earth ethics can be meaningfully put into practice.
