Lecture

Art History and Climate Change
The Templeton Colloquium in Art History

The intersection between climate change and art history opens new pathways for understanding how visual and material culture mediates human relationships to the natural world. Historical and contemporary depictions of nature illuminate how aesthetic practices register environmental knowledge and respond to ecological stress. Far from being a luxury of elite culture, art history is an essential tool for imagining alternative ecological futures.
