RCA SoAH Research Presents: Lisa E Bloom - Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics: Artists Reimagine the Arctic and Antarctic

Lisa E. Bloom is the author of many feminist books and articles in art history, visual culture, and cultural studies. Her latest book, Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics: Artists Reimagine the Arctic and Antarctic (Duke University Press, 2022), is the subject of her talk and examines how feminist, Black, Indigenous, and non-Western artists, filmmakers, and activist collectives are reimagining the Arctic and Antarctic in the context of climate change and environmental destruction. She has taught at numerous universities and art schools over the years and is currently at the University of California, Berkeley, as a scholar-in-residence at the Beatrice Bain Center in the Department of Gender and Women's Studies.
