What it means to to work in the realm of ecoart has increasingly preoccupied artists in China today; they present us with images of damaged landscapes, sites of unexpected beauty, and ghostly environments. ecoArt China is a series of free talks and an online exhibition which respond to ecological crises in China and invite you to explore the big questions about art as a form of environmental activism.
