Art in the Midst of Cultural and Ecological Crisis

Two art projects, Ensayos and Sørfinnset skole/the nordland, model ways of building and working in community, producing and sharing knowledge, and mobilizing to address environmental challenges. At the center of this comparison is an examination of how relational art connects local and Indigenous communities with scientists, activists, and policymakers responding to the challenges of climate change.
