Art and Creativity in an Era of Ecocide

Book Chapter

‘Incendiary: Curating art protest in the toxic airs of Stroud's rural green idyll’ (2023)

Chapter review by Regine January 9, 2024 at ‘We make money not art’

‘In her essay, Patricia Brien explains how she used her curator role to be a cultural agent of social change in her community. In 2019, she invited artists to respond to the opening of a waste incinerator in a green rural area near Stroud, UK. Called Incendiary, the exhibition not only highlighted the social inequalities engendered by ecocide (and in particular by the release of small invisible particle matter), it also highlighted the importance of collaborations between artists, scientists and environmental activists to exchange situated knowledge and draw strength from it.’
