Ecollective

Ecollective is a virtual art gallery dedicated to the issues of climate change. It is a platform where eco-artists can showcase their multi-disciplinary works by going through a submission and acceptance process. The gallery has categories that encompass different but essential aspects of climate change.

Publicity refers to how the public perceives climate change and how art can influence public perception. Climate change is a complex issue for humanity because it has many moving parts. Therefore, to create change, public involvement is essential. Art is a language and a medium to spread the message.

As you experience this gallery's offerings, acknowledge that each voice taken individually may not have much impact. However, when combined with other diverse perspectives and ideas, the movement gains strength, and the voices become louder. You can also bring about change if you stand up and collaborate.
