Intersections: Art, Science and the Environment

Collaboration between the arts and sciences has helped to create new ideas, processes and knowledge. By working together we open up new ways of seeing and experiencing the world around us and the current relationship between art-making, science and ecology. How can we work across art and science to enable a creative discourse about ideas that shape the perception and the experience of our changing environment? Can artistic practices inspire engagement in environmental issues, and sustain engagement through ongoing activities? This session seeks out those curious about the critical and intriguing topics that combine art, science and the environment. An interdisciplinary view about interpreting the world around us that embraces the natural environment and art by combining a fascination with how people create, interacts with, and impacts the landscape they inhabit
