Abstract

By exploring new composition modes, the artists have combined art and nature to produce utopian and experimental, political and social, identity, multicultural, philosophical and narrative visions, in which artifice becomes a metaphor to define the stage of development of humankind, its history, its individuality. And its crisis.
Such crisis is contrasted by a number of practices driven by the idea of political and ecological commitment, with a view to formulating new scenarios, engaging theorists and artists in the front row. Sustainable life patterns that, over time, will allow a forest of urge for freedom and shared rights to flourish, which, through cultural activism, will be able to contrast a situation that could become irreversible.
Urban Forest, through its artists and artworks, shows us a way, a path to follow, to investigate and direct our attention to a new cultural ecology, in order to try and fight an unprecedented environmental crisis by using art.
