In a world saturated with plastic, what role can artists play in transforming apathy into engagement? Together, panelists explore how artistic practice and direct environmental engagement can reframe polluted environments as spaces for imagination, encounter, and reflection. Creative gestures could unsettle resignation, and aesthetic experiences might open possibilities for unexpected solidarities or influence social norms and policy. The discussion opens space to consider how art and environmental action might translate ecological grief into shared awareness and forms of collective response.
