How can art and environmental advocacy meaningfully intersect to drive positive environmental outcomes? What challenges and opportunities arise when artists, academics, and civil society organisations collaborate across disciplinary boundaries? This panel brings together three speakers in the artscience space—an academic, a civil society representative, and an artist—who have actively engaged in interdisciplinary collaborations to address environmental issues through artistic practice.
Building on insights from a knowledge-exchange workshop on Artivism in Southeast Asia, panellists will share their personal experiences of navigating different perspectives, methodologies, and priorities in their work. They will reflect on key findings from the workshop, exploring emerging themes, successful strategies, and unresolved tensions in the field of environmental art.
Designed as a discursive and interactive session, this panel invites active audience participation to contribute their own experiences, questions, and ideas to collectively explore how artistic and environmental disciplines can collaborate more effectively for meaningful impact.
This session welcomes artists, researchers, activists, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and the environment to engage in a rich dialogue that bridges disciplines and perspectives.
Panellists:
Dr Thomas Smith (London School of Economics), Dr Jillian Ooi (Universiti Malaya) and Catriona Maddocks.
