| Abstract |
|
This chapter introduces the interdisciplinary art practices of Canadian artist Max Liboiron and Belgian artist Maarten Vanden Eynde, who are both concerned about the impact of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems and seek to articulate critical frameworks at the intersection of art, science, and anticolonial scientific practices. While Max Liboiron offers community-based citizen science strategies for monitoring plastic pollution in marine animals and developing innovative research approaches like discard studies, Maarten Vanden Eynde travels the world’s oceans to collect marine plastic debris in order to raise awareness about the impact of mass consumerism, planned obsolescence, and environmental injustice from which countries of the Global South are suffering disproportionately. Both artists welcome in their communities potential allies, like artists, scientists, scholars from the humanities, and hybrid practitioners from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to confront in global concerns in alternative ways, including ocean plastics and the global North-South divide: joining forces effectively to foster positive change.
