Taking place at the LSE, the conference aims to provide different perspectives on ecological issues from major thinkers of our time. To coincide with No Way Back, and completing the first phase of the RSA Arts & Ecology programme, Land, Art: A Cultural Ecology Handbook will be introduced on the morning of the 12th at a breakfast launch. Edited by writer and curator Max Andrews, this book comprises a compendium of texts, dialogues and collaborations by ecologists, economists, cultural theorists, activists and art writers that extend from the notions of land, cultural production and the emergencies of the 21st century. Original contributions from international practitioners as well as reproductions of existing artworks will accompany artists’ on-the-page ‘studio visits’. The book explores art’s varied modes of response – from detached crisis commentaries to engaged activist solutions.
