Crisis x Response

video
topic: Climate Breakdown
In times of heightened crises, are there limits to art’s potential for radical change? How should we act in response to crisis? In this video essay, artist and teacher Hannes Bernard grapples with the ways in which current global affairs can be characterized as a continuous state of emergency. The potential of artistic practices lies in learning to imagine and navigate your practice in relation to your environment. The potential danger of art lies in advocating solutions and optimism devoid of local knowledge and needs.
