All welcome!
Part of Oxford Green Action Week 2024
To mark the publication of Art Review Oxford’s special issue on ecological grief, the Environmental Humanities Research Hub at TORCH is hosting a roundtable discussion with the editors and contributors. Scholars and artists will gather to discuss their interdisciplinary work in the issue, which dissects ecological narratives woven into reviews, letters, recipes and artwork. The panel will explore the role of art criticism in attending to nature and its various forms of loss.
