This hybrid seminar explored the role of the arts in eco-critical awareness and activism. Speakers included Dr Cameron Harris (Wits), Dr Gavin Wayte (RNCM) and Prof. Alison Kearney (UJ) who collaborated on an eco-critical sound art installation; Prof. Tobias Bernard (UJ), a bio-chemical engineer who creates bio-art about water pollution; and  as well as members of The Mersey Rivers Trust (UK) and Water for the Future (S.A.).
