Abstract
Today, a number of educational art practices are connected with contemporary art while being aimed at social projects. These practices are based on notions of postmodernism related to the reappropriation or intervention of peripheral urban and natural spaces. This paper presents the relationship between different concepts such as culture, art, and the environment, by means of interdisciplinary art experiences. The aim is to explore how artists, curators, researchers, photojournalists, publicists, and architects present heterogeneous themes to solve conflicts at the local level, and to present our findings as a global idea from the perspective of the community. The principal areas of interests include social problems, cultural identity, global warming, drought, natural disasters leading to the destruction of habitats, and environmental degradation. It is essential to create innovative and productive art projects that generate new and alternative narratives to promote social wellbeing. We analyse the relationship between ecology, sociology, anthropology, and justice within the fields of visual culture, contemporary art, and art education, and how these connections can be applied to the rational use of resources.
