Research output: Other contributionBlogs and web publicationsPopular

Abstract

What roles can art and heritage play in navigating the current ecological crises? This question is central to research projects PITCH (Petroculture’s Intersections with Cultural Heritage) and JUST ART, which address the topics of energy transitions and climate justice. Ruby de Vos sits down with Jeff Diamanti and Colin Sterling to talk about sustainability, art’s responsibility toward ecological questions, and ’the field’ as a site of research.
