From the romantic poets to the Red Brigade, artists have for centuries expressed the importance of our connection to the natural world. This has been often executed against the tide of consumption and rapid, unquestioned technological change. With the threat of catastrophic climate change, the arts are again at the heart of campaigns to connect us to the natural world – only now with added urgency. Using illustrations from their own work, this panel of artists will discuss the ways in which the arts can push against public complacency, why it matters to them, and the role of the arts in calling society to environmental action.
