Explore the power of art to inspire change in todays ecological crisis. Gathering Ground explores threatened ecologies. It reflects on what cultivating relationships can look like when they are built on principles of equity. It brings together artistic practices that defend and embrace interconnectedness in our current ecological crisis and highlights the connection between environmental and social justice, inviting us to reimagine our relationships with the natural world and each other. Looking at the ground on which we gather, the artists and artworks in this publication ask: How can we live with and make sense of destruction and loss? How can we develop connections grounded in reciprocity?
