- Summary
- Accompanying the conference ?Barricading the Ice Sheets,? Camera Austria, 28. / 29.2.202000Artists? involvement in social movements has developed significantly over the last few years. Not so long ago, artists mainly contributed to the movements? visual identity, creating banners, posters, websites, and so on. Today, however, artists and cultural producers increasingly tend to become central protagonists, whether as spokespeople or in shaping media tactics and broader strategy. The four essays collected in this book confront the reality of the climate crisis without either illusion or resignation, discussing the possible contribution of artistic work with an acute awareness of the difficulties involved.00Oliver Ressler is an artist who produces installations, projects in public space, and films on issues like economics, democracy, the climate crisis, forms of resistance, and social alternatives. His thirty-three films have been screened all across the world.
