Visual Studies Journal in collaboration Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool invite thematic and illustrated essays in traditional format (6-8,000 words) that critically and conceptually examine how we come to see, understand, and respond to climate crisis.
By foregrounding the visual as an optic to better understand and examine these pertinent and timely issues, we welcome proposals that examine:
- How artists, activists, communities, and institutions deploy the use of photography and visual culture as a way of understanding the past, present and future impacts on communities, audiences, and people around the globe.
- Specific works of art and art practices that either historically or contemporaneously explore issues of climate crisis.
- Critique the role and relationship between galleries, museums, institutions and issues of climate crisis, advocacy, and education.
- Climate migrancy, the history of land and water management, food, and agricultural processes and/or the impact of food, clothing, and electrical consumption in relation to climate crisis.
- Food, biodiversity, recycling, land and water use, climate and race justice, architecture, non-human animals, and alternative energy sources as issues related to the climate crisis, either negatively or positively.
