Contemporary art and ecological Transformation in East and Southeast Asia

Editor Meqin Wang, with contributors Midori Yamamura, Vicki Kwon and Stephanie Benzaquen-Gautier, will present on Contemporary art and ecological Transformation in East and Southeast Asia (Manchester University Press, March 2026), an edited volume that examines how contemporary art in East and Southeast Asia confronts environmental destruction, ecological degradation, and social injustice in the backdrop of global ecological crises. The book explores how contemporary art in the region confronts environmental destruction and social injustice amid global ecological crises. It introduces the concept of artistic remediation, showcasing how artists intervene in and respond to ecological challenges through various creative practices. These methods range from creating thought-provoking artworks and fostering non-human agency to advocating for biodiversity, promoting eco-education, and protesting against capitalist extractivism.
