What artistic and aesthetic strategies are used to communicate research on ice and its crucial importance for our planet? What kind of cultural work do (popular) art and visual fiction do in the context of ice research – and science communication about it? What aesthetic achievements and social benefits are produced through the collaboration of scientists and artists exploring the fragility of ice, and in what contexts? What role does science actually play in, and for, our cultural ideas or imaginaries of ice?

Our brand-new book “Communicating Ice through Popular Art & Aesthetics” brings together the perspectives of eminent and emerging scholars from fields as varied as science communication, art history, pop cultural studies, environmental studies, sciences studying ice and artists to explore the power of (popular) arts and aesthetics to communicate ice research and the urgency of environmental action.
