Art and ecology: Encountering bee decline through creativity
Portus, Rosamund
Authors
Abstract
As concern for bees’ survival becomes an increased focus of environmental conversations, projects that engage with bee decline have emerged as a visible fixture of the creative landscape. This invites the question of what role creative practitioners might play in shaping public discourse and action around bee decline, as well as extinction crises more broadly. In exploring this question, this lecture draws on research conducted with artists who have engaged with the subject of bees through their work. The lecture will consider how creative methods of engagement can help inspire people’s empathy and encourage questioning, widen participation in environmental conversations, and bring learning into connection with tangible action through developing audience agency.
