Connecting and Catalyzing: Aesthetics + Community + Ecology toward a culture of sustainability

This forum (semi-plenary panel discussion) offers an introduction into the field of the thematic window „Art toward Cultures of Sustainability“ at the conference: Which situations, which challenges is art playing with, at the crossroads of ecologies, communities and aesthetics? How does art work as a seismograph and catalyst of deeper transformations? How can art contribute to sensitize for and unpack the complexities we have to deal with in our lives? Where are the limits and the challenges for such artistic and cultural practices?

Sacha Kagan is co-organizer of the thematic window „Art toward Cultures of Sustainability“ at this conference.
