Critical Ecological Practices stream brings together artists and creative practitioners committed to examining some of the most pressing questions of our time through exploratory, collaborative, and research-driven art practices. Critical ecological practice calls for a profound cultural transformation that challenges anthropocentric ways of thinking, embracing critical reflection and nurturing models of kinship built on empathy, compassion, and mutual reciprocity with the more-than-human world.
