The book Art for Radical Ecologies (manifesto) (forthcoming bruno, Venice 2024)  is the second volume of the IRI Series whose  aim is to produce knowledge in common and around commoning situated at  the intersection between art, pedagogy and activism for a transition  towards post capitalism.

The Art For Radical Ecologies Manifesto was co-written in a series of assemblies between 2021-2022. Art is a  powerful tool for imagining different types of ecological relationships  beyond the anthropocentric paradigm. At the same time though, our  manifesto states the importance of positioning ourselves as art workers  within the struggle for climate justice, starting by refusing the use of  art as greenwashing and the sponsorship of oil and fossil fuels  companies. Our manifesto tries to look beyond the current neoliberal  regime of the arts, with its ties to class, gender, race and species  forms of oppression. The book features the voice of artists, museum  directors, scholars and activists who address the link between art and  ecology from different perspectives: class, decoloniality, transfeminism  and antispecism.
