This Activist Art series has already inspired deep and meaningful intergenerational dialogue – including in groups with highly divergent and opposing opinions. It provides a means for conversation leading to change – in how people think about their own health and how it is inextricably tied with the health of the planet we all live on.
Artist Ruth Westreich developed this eBook and discussion guide as a tool to support dialogue about issues of import. Through art, the written word and Haiku, this eBook offers powerful imagery and words to convey the challenges to personal and planetary health we collectively face – including the human and environmental costs of pollution, the degradation of biodiversity, and the influences and imbalances of political and social power within societies, government and corporations.
