Institute of Contemporary Art Miami ICA Miami

This summer’s Art and Research program at ICA Miami focuses on climate change, cultural production, and ecocriticism through a global lens. Bringing together scholars of art history, literature, and the visual arts, this seminar series will explore the intersection between environment, art and literature to examine how aesthetic works shape our understanding of environmental issues. Seminars will trace how the ongoing climate crisis has shifted our basic beliefs surrounding nature, human relationships, the non-human, the role of technology and its global manifestations across the world. Faculty will lead students in a set of discussions that turn to art and artists as a way to think through climate and culture. In addition to the graduate-level seminars, this Summer Intensive will culminate in a mini symposium with two public talks and conversation between Joshua Shannon, Stephanie Wakefield and Donna Honarpisheh that will open up for audience engagement.
