What happens when artists are asked the questions usually addressed to planners and administrators? Here artists, architects, writers, designers and curators reimagine Sydney's relationship to its environment. They envisage a future where public art plays a vital role in Sydney's food, water, energy and waste management, and explore new collaborative and creative planning practices.

This book analyzes contemporary visual art produced in the context of conflict and trauma from a range of countries, including Colombia, Northern Ireland, South Africa, and Australia. It focuses on what makes visual language unique, arguing that the "affective'"quality of art contributes to a new understanding of the experience of trauma and loss.
