Abstract

Over the past two decades, ‘eco-art’ increasingly focused on issues related to climate collapse and the so-called Anthropocene, often embracing apocalyptic and destructive narratives. Through two case studies of Italian artists Marzia Migliora and Luigi Coppola, this contribution aims to highlight how some of these practices can range from raising awareness to inspiring action, using tools such as the archeology of social imaginary, utopia, and practices of commoning, effectively promoting sustainability and societal change. The article underscores the ability of eco-art to generate new imaginaries that transcend visual representation, acting as catalysts for cultural and environmental change.
