Forests play a critical role in the livelihoods and well-being of people. Human societies are dependent on forests in diverse and ever-changing ways. The interactions between forests and people take many forms. Forests hold important values for people’s lives, including spiritual, cultural, social, economic, and environmental values.
Art plays a significant role in people’s lives, serving as the foundation of culture, communication, well-being, environmental understanding, and economic development and other aspects of life.
In the pursuit of sustainable landscapes, we seek to understand how artistic expression and processes can create access to different ways of knowing, and bridge different views, among diverse groups. Artistic expressions and cultural processes may help bridge boundaries to enable sustainability.
This series of paintings was created by UBC students from various disciplines, each offering a unique perspective on the importance of forests and landscapes to our society.
