Title A name given to the resource Climate Crisis and Cultural Loss (2021-2024) Subject The topic of the resource Activism Archipelagic State Artistic Research Climate Crisis Coexistence Cultural Production Ecology Ecosystems Geopolitics Indigenous Knowledge Knowledge Production Nature Oceans & Seas Technology The Geocultural Urbanism Description An account of the resource MOE ACADEMIC RESEARCH FUND TIER 2[MOE-T2EP40120-0002] This project examines how climate crisis and cultural loss interconnect. The core objective is the co-production of knowledge that can lead to a changed understanding of environmental justice, which, in turn, will suggest changes in existing legal and policy frameworks. The project hypothesises that a fundamental connection between people and their environments has been lost in contemporary urban contexts, resulting in feelings of indifference towards the climate crisis or unexplained feelings of climate anxiety. It deploys a research team with transdisciplinary methods to build on emerging environmental jurisprudence in the Pacific region and produce narrative visualisations demonstrating the links between cultural loss and climate change. By combining scholarly knowledge with cultural and artistic practices, the project will develop an innovative framework for addressing the impact of accelerated climate change. Using tools from visual studies and forensic architecture, from ethnography and law, to make scientific evidence on climate change socially robust and impactful, it will also create a relay between local perspectives and knowledge generated in different academic fields. Data visualisation and audiovisual presentations of ecological and cultural loss will be instrumental to transform ecological grief and loss into catalysts for climate action. Such narrative visualisations make visible the necessity to re-establish a direct relation between human societies and the environment, especially in the rapidly-changing urban fabric of a metropolis like Singapore. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">RESEARCH OUTPUTS</h2> <a href="https://ntuccasingapore.omeka.net/items/show/4619">Climate Crisis and Cultural Loss Research Presentation</a>, 23 March–13 October 2024, TBA21-Academy Ocean Space, Venice, Italy <a href="https://ntuccasingapore.omeka.net/items/show/4619">Climate Crisis and Cultural Loss Research Presentation</a>, 12 April–24 May 2024, ADM Gallery, 81 Nanyang Drive, Singapore <a href="https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/law/research/publications/about-nzacl/publications/special-issues/hors-serie-volume-xxvii-2024">Special Issue: Climate Crisis and Cultural Loss (Vol. XXVII, 2024)</a>, Comparative Law Journal of the Pacific (CLJP), Victoria University of Wellington <h2 class="wp-block-heading">RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS:</h2> Ahmed, N., Bauer, U.

The complexity of the climate crisis at hand requires a transdisciplinary approach to research and practice, even as we see climate change becoming an ever-pressing theme across the disciplines of science and art. This database does not aim to be an exhaustive list of artists from the South, Southeast Asian and Pacific region but a carefully crafted list of artists and collectives that have a keen focus on environmental themes. Drawing on the expertise built up by NTU CCA over the years, this database animates the expansive network of artists from around the South, Southeast Asian and Pacific regions dedicated to themes related to traditional knowledge, biodiversity and ecosystems, anthropogenic impacts and risk and resilience. The hope is that this database presents an easy to use and initial source of information for scientists, policymakers and artists to find artists relevant to their area of expertise or region of study with the possibility of collaborating with artists in the database toward building transdisciplinary research methods. The content featured in the database is edited and proofread by an internal team at NTU CCA.
