“…The latter supports knowledge co-production, whereby the concept of "seeing double" (Mould, 2019) -through both an art and science lens -can help scientists to understand different perspectives and relations to their subject matter (Risner et al, 2019;Marlton and Robson, 2020). A recent Geoscience Communication Special Issue provided insight into the diversity of art-geoscience projects already occurring, demonstrating where geoscience and art have successfully collaborated to study topics such as climate change, geotourism, or cultural heritage (Lanza, 2020).…”

Abstract. Art–science partnerships offer valuable opportunities to enhance inclusive engagement with research through collaborative creative practice. Here, we present two case studies of interdisciplinary approaches to contextualising environmental science for wider audiences. We synthesise lessons learnt from these case studies and associated stakeholders to provide advice for conducting successful art–science collaborations that help to broaden interactions with environmental geoscience research.

“…Bringing together science and art (referred to as SciArt hereafter) is a topic that has received increasing attention in the last few years. The recent Geoscience Communication journal special issue on SciArt provides a collection of such initiatives [14].…”

“…As noted by [14], "the need for a collaborative space in which science and art can work together is imperative today". Given the public's trust in scientists as generators of information [15] and the varied impacts experienced due to climate change, a transdisciplinary approach to environmental challenges, where diverse voices have a space to be heard and the public can be better included in the scientific process, is becoming increasingly vital.…”

The Virtual Water Gallery: Art as a catalyst for transforming knowledge and behaviour in water and climate

Water is life. Water-related challenges, such as droughts, floods, water quality degradation, permafrost thaw and glacier melt, exacerbated by climate change, affect everyone. It is challenging, yet of critical importance, to communicate science on such difficult highly volatile topics. Art is a more approachable medium to traditional scientific outlets that has the potential to diversify voices at the table and to lead to more wholistic solutions to these complex challenges. Launched in 2020, the Virtual Water Gallery is a transdisciplinary science and art project of the Global Water Futures program, that aims to provide a collaborative space for dialogues between water experts, artists, and the wider public, to explore water challenges we all face. As part of this initiative, 14 artists or sci-artists representing women, men and Indigenous voices across Canada were paired with teams of Global Water Futures scientists to co-explore specific water challenges in various Canadian ecoregions and communities. These collaborations led to the co-creation of artworks exhibited online on the Virtual Water Gallery in 2021. In 2022, the Virtual Water Gallery came to life with an in-person exhibition in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. Surveys were developed to capture changes in knowledge, attitudes and water-related climate mitigation practices of visitors to this science and art online and in-person exhibition. Surveys were also developed to capture experiences of the SciArt collaboration participants. Results from the survey responses of 139 visitors hint to the significance of art in changing knowledge levels and intended behaviours related to water-related climate change mitigation, especially for visitors with low prior knowledge levels. This underscores the potential of SciArt to extend beyond communication, acting as a catalyst in the collaborative creation of new knowledge for the benefit of society. The insights gained from participant responses can serve as valuable guidance for shaping future initiatives.

“…On the other hand, communication methods that directly address the emotional sphere seem to engage the public in a deep and meaningful way. Innovative strategies using the arts, gaming, theatrical improvisation, and interactive exhibitions are being developed [11][12][13][14]. If people are sensitized, technical information can be communicated more effectively.…”

Geoheritage is a geotourism resource that could lead to the sustainable development of society, and could contribute to information on geological and geomorphological characteristics, education, public awareness on geoconservation, and landscape protection. Understanding this cultural wealth is still limited, since the information available is often specialized. Communication addressed to the emotional sphere can profoundly engage people, and technical information can be transmitted more effectively. For several years, our research group dealt with geoheritage and geotourism in central Italy. This work aimed to investigate different communication methods, such as publications, announcements through social media, conferences, live performances, and field excursions aimed at the emotional involvement of the public. Furthermore, the emotional response of the public was explored through a digital survey. These communication methodologies enabled a broad public reach, without any distinction based on social origin, cultural background, or age. Narrating the landscape through different forms of art creates a personal relationship with the audience. The emotional participation of the people demonstrates the effectiveness of the method in transmitting scientific and cultural themes, such as the origin of the geological landforms, the culture and the traditions that the site generated, and the problems pertaining to its protection and conservation.
