What capacity do communities have to manage their resources, confront the ecological crisis, and imagine future alternatives? What ways can we find to reconsider our relationships with the environment, nature, and other beings? What role can contemporary art and public participation processes play in envisioning and mobilizing desires for social transformation? Ecological Agencies brings together essays, experiences, and proposals to rearticulate the relationships between communities, territories, and viable futures through artistic processes. It seeks to recognize, in different territories and geographies, practices, lexicons, and discourses that highlight the agency of communities in processes of self-governance, to question inherited views on our understanding of the world around us, and to explore the capacity of contemporary art and community participation to catalyze new narratives and stories with which to confront the crisis of imagination in the face of an uncertain climate future.
