As long as we have been a species, the arts have both recorded and helped shape our entanglement with the world around us, how we perceive and experience it, how we think and feel about it, and how we act. From the cave paintings of Chauvet to Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty earthwork and James Balog's photos and videos, from Pliny's natural history to Jane Hirshfield's and Gary Snyder's poems, from Thoreau's experiment in mindful living to the Futurefarmers art collective and permaculture design, we have poured into the arts our deepest desires and imaginings, our memories and understandings, our fears and hopes, and much of what we have learned about our planet.
And now? What have the arts to offer us as we face our planet's uncertain and troubled future? How can occupying the spaces between the arts and the sciences help us see, feel, think, and move forward?
