We are so excited that T.J. Demos, award-winning author, writing widely on the intersection of contemporary art, global politics, and ecology, is working on a Text of Repair for Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage!

T. J. is the author of numerous essential publications including Beyond the World’s End: Ecologies of Catastrophe, Just Futures, and Arts of Living at the Crossing (Duke University Press, 2020), Against the Anthropocene: Visual Culture and Environment Today (Sternberg Press, 2017), Decolonizing Nature: Contemporary Art and the Politics of Ecology (Sternberg Press, 2016) and the essay Climate Control: From Emergency to Emergence (eflux, 2019).

In his Text of Repair, T.J. plans to bring a critical analysis to Loss and Damage discourse by focusing on the aesthetics and politics of experimental artistic practices that connect harm and #Reparation to care and transformation, extending the horizon of flourishing ecological futurity beyond green capitalist solutionism.

The Ways of Repair : Loss and Damage program is supported by the Open Society Foundations and is a part of the Loss and Damage Collaboration’s Art and Culture program.
