Resumen (en)

This article examines the importance of public spaces
as conduits for communication and education and
platforms for spreading awareness of global warming
through artistic expression. It explores how these
spaces function, the impact of artworks in urban
environments, and the role of public art in addressing
sustainability issues. By categorizing public spaces
into social and quotidian realms, the article highlights
their potential as forums for discussion and learning
about global issues. The article uses case studies,
such as the projects of Daan Roosegaarde and Eve
Mosher, to illustrate how climate art engages viewers
in contemplating a more sustainable future through
emotional and sensory experiences.
