ABSTRACT
Subhankar Banerjee’s photography and writing explore eco-cultural relationships between
human and nonhuman biotic communities and varieties of anthropogenic environmental
violence, including climate change, and have engaged with three geographies so far: the
Arctic; desert of the southwestern United States; and the coastal temperate old-growth
rainforests of the Pacific Northwest. His photographs have been exhibited widely, including
in the Rights of Nature: Art in Ecology in the Americas exhibition at the Nottingham
Contemporary and All Our Relations of the 18th Biennale of Sydney. His most recent book
is an anthology he edited, Arctic Voices: Resistance at the Tipping Point (2013). He has
received several awards, including a Cultural Freedom Award from the Lannan Foundation
and a Greenleaf Artist Award from the United Nations Environment Programme. In 2016,
Banerjee was a Visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. Further details can
