Since ever, Arts have the ability to convey conflicting emotions to their observers, but also to make them reflect on important issues. What happens when art becomes a tool to denounce phenomena as big as devastating as climate change<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more artists are making their art available to denounce serious problems that afflict the planet<\/strong><\/a> and are dear to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Art shakes the dust accumulated in everyday life from the soul<\/em><\/p>Pablo Picasso<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Maybe this is the deep meaning of art: to move the strings of the human soul. Visual or sensory art<\/strong><\/a> is in fact able to give resonance to phenomena which humanity have to face, touching the emotionality of the collective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another ability of art is to manage to change the observer’s perspective<\/strong>; apparently static graphic representations turn into meaningful talking objects<\/strong> that can convey the urgency<\/strong> of a certain theme and at the same time push the observer to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art that denounces climate change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The art of climate change<\/strong> began in 2005<\/strong> when the activist Bill McKibben<\/strong> warned of the need to raise collective awareness of the current climate crisis, convinced that the tragic scale of this crisis had not yet been understood. It thus appeals to the global artistic community, underlining the urgency of a return to the imagination that only artists are able to recreate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new look for art makes data more accessible to non-scientists, and directly conveys the status of the crisis<\/strong><\/a>. Those who actively participate are inspired by collectivism for the public good and the aim of making the climate crisis conceivable, close, and understandable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
