In the sixth episode of the EcoThreads podcast, I explore how music and visual art have served as environmental activism from prehistoric times to the 1960s to today. Particular topics discussed in-depth include landscape art, the land art movement, indigenous art and music, folk music, popular environmental songs, and the environmental advocacy efforts of musicians.
Other environmental songs: "Wake Up America" (Miley Cyrus); "The Landscape is Changing" (Depeche Mode); "(Nothing But) Flowers" (Talking Heads); "Talking Dust Bowl Blues" (Woody Guthrie)
Environmental artists to check out: Agnes Denes, Nils-Udo, Andy Goldsworthy, Jenny Kendler, Maya Lin, and those mentioned in this episode!
