What is the cultural dimension of sustainability? This book offers a thought-provoking answer
with a theoretical synthesis on »cultures of sustainability«. Describing how modernity
degenerated into a culture of unsustainability to which the arts are contributing Sacha Kagan
engages us in a fundamental rethinking of our ways of knowing and seeing the world. We must
learn not to be afraid of complexity and to re-awaken a sensibility to patterns that connect.
With an overview of ecological art over the past 40 years and a discussion of art and social
change the book assesses the potential role of art in a much needed transformation process.
