Creative Matter

Ecological devastation and environmental justice are hard realities to face in our world. While these problems deserve to be examined and addressed tangibly, they should also be expressed artistically and emotionally to touch the hearts of people everywhere. Creative Matter seeks to earnestly shed light on the imaginative manifestations of these weighty subjects, highlighting the several mediums through which artists have conveyed their messages.
