By connecting artworks with their historical and environmental contexts, writing about art introduces new ways to understand the ecological histories of this changing world. Art writing is more than art history; it uses narrative nonfiction to tell stories of individual encounter and collective imagination. Situated amidst concerns for the threat of global climate change and alongside research into blue economies in South-east New South Wales (NSW), Australia, this article tells stories of coastal change recorded in artworks. We demonstrate how art writing can offer a bridge between concerns about human impacts on coastal ecosystems, and hopes for what we collectively imagine our future to be. The article offers art writing as an effective interdisciplinary research model for describing thought and felt relationships with our coastlines, past and future.

In this article I turn to creative practice as a way to focus attention on Anthropocene unsettledness within more mundane and everyday circumstance, what I frame as the “everyday Anthropocene.” For this I explore the potential of generating sensibilities helpful in attuning to ongoing uncertainty and distress. Drawing on existential philosophy and mindfulness practices, I employ a speculative design framework to design everyday artefacts with troubling qualities. Such work, I suggest, demonstrates the “polyarchic” capacities of creative experimentalism in devising quotidian strategies within ongoing vicissitudes of Anthropocene dwelling.

Place-based digital storytelling can transform conversations about environmental challenges. Yet, co-creating digital stories also has the power to transform those involved in producing them. This is the critical reflection of an interdisciplinary team of lecturers and students who produced their own contextually situated resources to spark conversations about, and public awareness of, land use classifications environmental issues in Aotearoa New Zealand. The resulting short film on land use and podcast series on environmental issues challenges us to imagine new human-environment futures and highlights the existing disconnects and constraints that have limited our ability to achieve them. This case study will be useful for others interested in creating similar projects.

The contemporary genre of climate fiction can be thought of as the stories we tell ourselves about our changing global climate. Thus, it is important to understand the dynamics behind the production and circulation of those stories. This article first reviews how geographers have begun to analyze these questions with regard to climate fiction. Some analyses reflect a certain “ideology critique,” similar to Fredric Jameson’s theories of allegory, while others foreground the agency of fiction in prefiguring political futures. This article also shows how recent suggestions that Gillian Hart’s theorization of articulation bridges the classic disciplinary divide between historical materialist and poststructuralist accounts, in addition to work in the subfield of literary geography, are relevant in this case. After discussing examples of “ideology critique” and what I term the “fiction-as-change-agent” critique, I examine how theorizing articulation can help show the dialectical relationship between ideology and fictive agency in the context of contemporary climate fiction. I do this in reference to two recent works of climate fiction: Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island (2019) and Lydia Millet’s A Children’s Bible (2020).

This article explores how irregular migrants in/visibilise themselves in socio-spatial contexts in Finland. Drawing upon new materialist thinking, specific strategies of in/visibilisation are interpreted herein as fully part of irregular migrants’ lawscapes, that is, of their ontological movements and the material interplays between laws and spaces, allowing bodies to create their own desired spaces of survival. This article is part of a larger research project using ethnographic methods and a new materialist approach to explore irregular migrants’ everyday lives in Finland. It shows how law is embodied by individuals and, thus, materially influences and affects their movements and emotional activities.

This article calls for closer attention to be paid to particular kinds of spaces, practices, and sensibilities that might best be explored through the prism of the analog. We argue that this is important, not only in accounting for wide-ranging analogic histories but also to capture how the allure of the analog and analogic practices have taken hold in present times amidst a climate emergency and ambitions for extra-planetary futures. We use “analog” broadly as a noun to refer to a space, practice, logic or sensibility that is comparable to, or seeking to reproduce another. An analog is, in other words, some kind of best approximation of something else, of other world(s) or conditions that enable different kinds of living where otherwise they may be impossible. Within this framework, the article traces analog geographies through time and space and makes three key interventions in the process. The first is to bring a range of literature within geography and the humanities into conversation to position analog geographies and provide a lens through which to think critically about humanity’s relationship with the planet and about ideas of shelter in an ever more challenging climate. The second intervention is to challenge the assumption that analogs solely serve the technological fantasies of elite actors. While analogs can (and often do) do this, we argue that they can also embody more hopeful and equitable engagements with the future. Finally, we call for further research into analog geographies and outline potential future directions that this might take.

This is a geopoetic exploration of riverine space through music. In this article, I build upon the nascent field of hydropoetics by approaching the space of rivers through musical ethnographic research. I draw upon post-colonial geopoetic approaches, blue humanities and oceanic studies, and the phenomenology of Gaston Bachelard and Ivan Illich, as well as on the praxis of son Jarocho musicians. I reflect upon three vignettes of music in two rivers of Sotavento in southeast Mexico and in one British river, exploring the ways in which son Jarocho music is used to produce and transform space. These surveys disembogue into a consideration of the possibilities granted by musical hydropoetics in the context of the Anthropocene, thinking of landscapes as feral Anthroposcenes as per Tsing et al. and Matless’s works.

Anchored in critical analysis of a photovoice project, this article interrogates intersections between (1) health as it is tethered to ideas about the “future” and (2) worries about “the environment.” The ways the concepts of future, health and environment are dealt with by project participants suggest that arts-based research methods may be at risk of being seen as non-political spaces safe for people with privilege to envision some peoples as having more rights than others to a healthy future. The article begins by exploring how arts-based approaches, and photovoice in particular, can result in positive generative conversations between differently positioned research collaborators. Then, guided by critical anti-racist, queer, and Indigenous scholarship on futurities and ecologies, we move on to suggest that arts-based methods might rightly be critiqued for appearing as naïve methods, susceptible to reinscribing dominant paradigms of power and privilege. This tension has implications for geohumanities, explored in the concluding sections of the article. Ultimately, we argue that working with arts-based methods across sectors must acknowledge and account for gradations of power. Gradations of power are, after all, always informing who is afforded and allowed a healthy future when what is broadly referred to as “the environment” is at stake.
