Summary:

This edited collection brings together arts educators, practice researchers, curators and artists to explore ecological approaches to learning, gathering awareness and assembling protest in times of Earth crisis. Each chapter contributes new understandings of different arts processes that have the potential for enabling lifelong and future-changing reparative interventions. Readers are encouraged in their own regenerative creative processes, by authors who have developed ecologies in practice research in universities, with schools, with visitors to theatres, gallery and museum audiences, and arts practice in community settings. The book intends to assist equitable educational practice in environments that have been compromised, and increasingly devastated, by the effects of the Anthropocene. It will be of interest to academics, practice researchers and students developing ecological arts projects. Miranda Matthews is an artist educator and researcher who has directed the Centre for Arts and Learning at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK, for several years. Miranda co-chairs the Goldsmiths Practice Research Group, and is an editor for the International Journal of Art and Design Education. .
