The book Art for Radical Ecologies (manifesto) (forthcoming bruno, Venice 2024)  is the second volume of the IRI Series whose aim is to produce knowledge in common and around commoning situated at the intersection between art, pedagogy and activism for a transition towards post capitalism.

The Art For Radical Ecologies Manifesto was co-written in a series of assemblies between 2021-2022. Art is a powerful tool for imagining different types of ecological relationships beyond the anthropocentric paradigm. At the same time though, our manifesto states the importance of positioning ourselves as art workers within the struggle for climate justice, starting by refusing the use of art as greenwashing and the sponsorship of oil and fossil fuels companies. Our manifesto tries to look beyond the current neoliberal regime of the arts, with its ties to class, gender, race and species forms of oppression. The book features the voice of artists, museum directors, scholars and activists who address the link between art and ecology from different perspectives: class, decoloniality, transfeminism and antispecism.
