This project evaluates the means and benefits of leveraging the arts to address the challenge of eco-sustainability. Ecological art practice is emerging globally but how and under what conditions does it positively transform environments, behaviour or patterns of consumption? A partnership between arts researchers and the City of Sydney, Curating Cities assesses major international public art projects and their strategies for change, and establishes robust data on the characteristics of this emerging field. It evolves a curatorial plan, providing a cultural strategy to meet the City of Sydney's environmental sustainability targets and to aid and advance ecological art planning generally.
