Nature, Art, ACTIVISM 225 ee N ae The aim of this chapter is to provide an insight into environmental art or ecoart. It will review the creative answers given by contemporary art to environmental problems, its role in exploring and understanding these problems, and how it may inspire solutions, and collective action. The chapter highlights the fine arts, with an — extremely short — detour to literature. Music, film and theater, on the other hand, are not discussed here, as they are beyond the chapter's scope. For information about these media of art I recommend the respective chapters in the above mentioned co-authors’ Introduction to Environmental Humanities (Hubbell — Ryan 2022). : Ecological literary studies. Imagining nature (Hubbell — Ryan 2022: 169-187); Environmental theatre. Performing nature (Hubbell — Ryan 2022: 188-207); Environmental film. Projecting nature (Hubbell — Ryan 2022: 208-227). To music see: Taylor — Hurley 2015.
