The authors and contributors are leading figures in Blue Humanities - an emerging field spanning historical, visual, cultural, and literary studies of the ocean. At a time when the Pacific Ocean’s health is increasingly fragile, documenting and sharing their work is more crucial than ever, highlighting how artists contribute to improving ecological conditions in marine and coastal environments. Transformative Currents fills a critical gap in art history by exploring this urgent topic while amplifying Indigenous voices alongside their Western counterparts. The book and its accompanying exhibition - curated by Coblentz with Katzeman and Duan for Getty’s PST ART: Art & Science Collide - feature artists at various career stages from diverse locations. One of the first exhibitions to embrace such a broad cultural perspective on Pacific environmental issues, it presents a dynamic mix of voices from different geographical and professional backgrounds.
