Social ecologies, witchcraft and hydrofeminism-a voyage through four decades of ecofeminist art

Inspired by four decades of ecofeminist thought and action in art, Life on Earth: Art & Ecofeminism presents firsthand accounts and critical assessments of the life and work of pioneering artists associated with the movement. Through bountiful essays, poems, artworks and archival materials, the reader examines each artist's contributions to the protean philosophy. Through its survey approach, Life on Earth addresses an impressive breadth of ecofeminism's concerns, including social ecologies, the commons, Indigenous cosmologies, lesbian separatism, witchcraft, hydrofeminism, plant knowledge, science fiction and speculative futures, among others.
