Environmental Art: An awareness tool for social change.
Man and his environment has for long been inter-dependent on each other, man has served as keeper of his environment, he has lived, built and explored his immediate environment directly or indirectly in the past ages, as he seeks to appreciate and sustain himself, achieve his needs as he live through each age and time, sometimes forgetting that man is a cosmografia del minor mondo (cosmography of the microcosm)…meaning, man is the balance of the earth and that whatever he do will affect the earth.
Environmental practices and activities is a huge concern in our today’s society and times of change in the life-support system of our planet. In need of accommodating within most of our lifetime up to an estimated 9 billion fellow humans in the world and Nigeria totally a 160 million people sharing our environment, we need to ask ourselves what kind of environment , attitude and practices do we need to live peacefully and sustainable with one another.
This brings us to the question how we may want to revisit the way we live, exercise our respect for the environment and relate to nature, the seas, and to our global neighbors of all ages, beliefs, races and gender.
Quoting Dr. Cornelia Neuen, president of Mundus Maris; Art and Sustainability Initiative of which Nduwhite Ndubuisi Ahanonu is a founding member.
“In the sciences we have assessments of the state of our ecosystems, the climate change and the ocean which is extremely worrying. They also help to give us an idea on how we can live with all the knowledge in the public domain.
But clearly, in our ability to make our societies more equitable and able to cope through harnessing our collective intelligence and capacity to act does not only depend on scientific field only but on how we are able to address sustainability of reflecting, co-creating new insights about and practicing robust pedagogical concepts around the need to accompany young people into sustainable forms of living, meeting their global peers on our crowded planet and learning how to cooperate for a better future and environment.”
