Re-imagining nature: Eco-Aesthetic perspectives in artistic practices

In a world facing climate crisis, environmental degradation, and ecological uncertainty, artistic practice offers a unique lens to rethink our relationship with nature. The international research conference on “Re-imagining nature: Eco-Aesthetic perspectives in artistic practices” provides a platform for artists, scholars, performers and practitioners to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue, collaborative experimentation and critical reflection.

This conference explores how theatre, dance, music, visual arts, folk traditions, ritual practices, and digital media can reimagine nature not merely as a backdrop but as a collaborator, a philosophical inquiry and a living presence. Participants will share research papers, performances, practice-led studies, lecture-demonstrations and workshops, bridging the worlds of theory and embodied artistic practice.

By fostering conversations around eco-performance, environmental dramaturgy, sustainable creative practices, indigenous ecological knowledge, and artistic activism, the conference seeks to cultivate ecological consciousness, aesthetic innovation, and transformative approaches to art and culture.
