Author: Adriano Pedrosa, André Mesquita, Isabella Rjeille
This book brings together more than 200 works by artists, activists and social movements that examine, from different perspectives, the concept of “ecology” as a system of interrelationships among human and more-than-human beings—including animals, plants, rivers, forests, mountains, fungi and minerals.Lushly illustrated, this catalog includes reproductions of works and curatorial essays divided into thematic sections—“Web of Life,” “Geographies of Time,” “On Becoming,” “Territories, Migrations, and Borders” and “Inhabiting the Climate.” The paintings, sculptures, weavings, maps and videos of the 117 artists presented, nearly all of whom come from the so-called Global South, not only shed light on the effects of colonialism, environmental racism and global capitalism on bodies, territories and ecosystems, but also the historical and structural roots of this mode of living, as well as different ways of seeing, inhabiting and transforming the planet.
