Artful climate change communication: overcoming abstractions, insensibilities, and distances

Abstract: This article considers how visual and sonic art creates encounters through which audiences can experience climate change. Building on reviews published in WIREs Climate Change on images, films, drama, climate science fiction, and other literary forms, we examine how audio and visual art addresses the enduring problems of climate change communication. We begin with three of these problems: climate change's often abstract nature, the distances in time and space between those who cause climate change and the plac… Show more

“…Their analysis found that scientific experts in charge of distributing engagement funding directed 96% of funds to projects deemed primarily reliant on deficit‐based means. This tendency is similarly evident with regards to climate change, in which deficit‐bound communications are by far the dominant means of experts–publics interactions explored within the literature (Editorial, ; Hawkins & Kanngieser, ; Hewitt, Stone, & Tait, ; Kahan & Carpenter, , ; Nash et al, ; van der Linden et al, ; van Renssen, ).…”

“…“Artfulness,” and associated phrases such as “arts of living,” “arts of socioecological transformation,” “arts of noticing,” and “arts of attentiveness” (e.g., Haraway, 2016; Hawkins & Kanngieser, 2017; Hawkins et al., 2015; Tsing et al., 2017; van Dooren et al., 2016) are becoming commonplace in the humanities and social sciences, signalling efforts to highlight distributed, everyday, and ephemeral forms of artistry and creativity in the context of ecological destruction. However, these concepts are often used rather vaguely, their meanings implied rather than explained.…”

“…Music scholars are increasingly advocating for research to engage with ‘environmentalities’ (Martinez-Reyes 2015), and our collective and pervading sense of planetary crisis, spawning the burgeoning field of ecomusicology (Titon 2009; Allen et al 2011; Bendrups et al 2013; Schippers and Bendrups 2015; Schippers and Grant 2016). Meanwhile a growing corpus of work is concerned with making sense of our contemporary ecological crisis through creativity, corporeality and performance (Hawkins and Kanngieser 2017). Beyond the facts and figures of climate science, creative and artistic expressions interpolate unfolding upheaval.…”
