FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5
- 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
- Media Lounge
- 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Ecologies of Creative Activism
- Media Lounge
- Ecologies of Creative Activism asks how do the theories of ecology apply towards activism? Is the internet an ecosphere for activists? The term “ecology” references both the study of how organisms relate within an environment and those relationships themselves, but it has also come to be synonymous with political activism on behalf of those systems. We will look at works that creatively engage with the systems ecology studies and works that practice creative methods of activism. These works may forge ties between art, activism, and ecology as well as comparing and contrasting these models.
