The Work of Art in the Age of Planetary Destruction

We asked 32 contributors from around the world — artists, curators, photographers, writers and more — about engaging with a world in environmental crisis.

Banana Split, by Syowia Kyambi

This book is a collection of ideas from creators across the world about their role in imagining the global future. What do they do that politicians and climate scientists can’t or won’t do? There is only one true version of the book which will be archived in the Wellcome Library. All other versions — printed or online — are mechanical reproductions of it. The printed copies have been perforated so that their pages can be pulled apart, to remind us that the things we take can’t always be put back and the things we lose can’t always be recovered.

Below is a digital reproduction that you can read safely.
