Artists engage with the persistent and complex challenges of sustainability through residencies and exhibitions.
About the Art and Sustainability initiative
Overview
ASU Art Museum focuses on artists who engage with the persistent and interconnected social, political and environmental challenges on a local and global level. Artists work directly with scientists and humanists at ASU and with communities and organizations to question existing modalities and propose new ones. Exhibitions range from artists witnessing and reflecting in their artworks to projects generating conversations and developing concrete solutions by means of new objects, services and practices.
