In this season our overall question is: What is the social context of art and climate change in 2023?. In this episode we begin by answering the question: How does contemporary climate activism fit in the timeline of art history? We'll be discussing climate activist protests within the museum space and the reactions from those witnessing the protests and how museum officials feel having their space being used as a stage for these groups.

This is Fuming: The Environmental Impact of Art.

My name is Taylor, I’m a current senior at University of Rhode Island, majoring in Fine Arts on an Art History track. For an independent study, I am spending each week going into what makes up past and present art materials and how it affects our health and the health of our environment.

I thought that before starting off with the first official episode, I would give a bit of background behind who I am and why I'm choosing to don myself with a podcast project.
