140 Artists’ Ideas for Planet Earth

Through drawings, thought experiments, recipes, instructions, gardening ideas, insurgences and personal revolutions, 140 artists come together for a publication dedicated to the environment and the climate emergency.

This is the result: a compendium of recipes, sketches, photographs, essays, spells, and instructions that ask us to engage with the climate emergency in new and imaginative ways in our daily lives, in our homes and communities, parks and public spaces. The contributors of the book invite you to scribble on these pages, to rip them out and take them to a protest, letting the book become a companion in thinking about new futures.
