In her groundbreaking book, "Eco-Performance, Art, and Spatial Justice in the US," Courtney B. Ryan delves into the captivating world of urban artists in the United States, exploring their profound engagement with environmental domestication and spatial injustice through the medium of performance. Spanning from the 1970s to the present day, these artists employ a diverse range of artistic mediums, including theater, art, film, and digital media, to stage captivating and thought-provoking micro-acts that challenge the deeply ingrained Western directives to domesticate nonhuman nature.
Through their captivating performances, these artists invite us to witness the intricate interconnectedness of marginalized human, vegetal, and aquatic life, highlighting the urgent need for alternative ecologies that celebrate the diversity and resilience of our natural world. By performing alternate ecologies that challenge the dominant narratives of spatial injustice, these artists offer a powerful lens through which to examine and address the pressing issues of our time.
In this interdisciplinary text, Ryan brings a performance perspective to the environmental humanities, providing readers grappling with the global climate crisis with a valuable roadmap forward. By exploring the ways in which small environmental performances can expose spatial injustice and increase spatial mobility, Ryan offers a fresh and innovative approach to understanding and addressing the complex challenges of our interconnected world.
This book will appeal to a wide range of students and academics, spanning performance, media studies, urban geography, and environmental studies. It serves as a testament to the power of art as a catalyst for social change and a reminder of the urgent need to cultivate a deeper understanding of our relationship with the natural world.
