It is inevitable to observe the evolving responses to the negative impacts of these decisions, as well as the impacts of political decisions on nature and society. This course will focus on the ways art intersects with Slow Violence and Slow Hope, examining and relating these events from a social science perspective, while also attempting to analyze them from an artistic perspective and make them visible through artistic practice. The primary objective of the course is to examine examples of Slow Hope and Slow Violence in T\u00fcrkiye, generally considered within the context of Environmental Studies, and to relate these two concepts to the concept of Artivism, which stands somewhere between activism and artistic creation. This will be explored and discussed through Artivist examples. The effort to combine art with activism to generate political, aesthetic, and economic approaches to emerging events will be another focus of this course and the path to its outcomes.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to theoretically examining the topics mentioned above, participants are also expected to engage in practical exercises to bring to light events they believe exemplify the concepts of slow violence and slow hope in T\u00fcrkiye, using art and\/or new media in various formats. Participants are expected to consider an event not solely as an environmental disaster, but also to consider and highlight aspects of gender, racism, and class inequality. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div
