Curated by Cicely Sweed
Since the beginnings of the Eco-Arts movement in the late 60s, artists have culled inspiration from the environment to create works that shed light on the state of climate change and to raise consciousness around human impact on our planetary ecosystems. Geo-Frequencies highlights the work of artists/activists moving from the edges to the forefront of the Green movement, inspiring dialogue and reflection towards building a sustainable present and future.
