Abstract

Scholars, visual artists and filmmakers explore how visual cultures can engage with and analyse the creative practices that reflect on environmental or apocalyptic threats in the past and the present through varied cultural perspectives on imagined futures. Uniquely, this Special Issue brings together scholars, artists and filmmakers to explore, analyse and imagine how visual cultures can reflect environmental or apocalyptic threats. With its seeds laid in a conference at the 2023 Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI) Film Festival, the Special Issue contains updated versions of panel presentations as well as offering new articles. The key questions addressed: how do people imagine and envision different planetary threats around the world? How can we as scholars, artists, filmmakers, writers and activists address them through different media? And what is the role of multimodal anthropology in exploring the spectra of utopias and dystopias in such planetary futures?
