No. 8 (2022): Artistic Practices, Planetary Crisis and Possible Lives

The current social-environmental crisis the world is facing demands answers. The ongoing global ecological and health disasters demonstrate the consequences of consumption and exploitation patterns and of practices that represent mistreatment of living and non-living beings and ill-treatment among human beings. This unequal and self-destructive panorama forces us to revise the ways in which we inhabit our world from more conscious and sensitive frameworks that open the door to empathy, diversity, and the exchange of knowledge. 

This Artilugio issue proposes the emergence of a space where participants can socialize and conduct research related to artistic experiences that address these issues and reflect on the following questions: How do we respond to the ongoing social-environmental crisis?; Which habitable and possible worlds and lives can we re-create?; Which imaginaries do artistic practices reflect?; What action-practices do we want (or not) to keep reproducing?
