Visual practices in the activities of Tomsk urban eco-communities

Abstract

The paper examines visual practices related to the transformation of the environment, the protection of green spaces from negative influences, and eco-education using the example of natural objects in Tomsk. These practices can be attributed to prosumer practices, as they are free of charge, on a voluntary basis, and rely on the personal initiative of the participants. The painting on trees, which is analyzed as part of the project to create an eco-art-trail, goes as the main direction of the study, and the design of natural landscapes as places of recreation for citizens goes as an additional one.
