140 Artists' Ideas for Planet Earth

Through drawings, thought experiments, recipes, instructions, gardening ideas, insurgences and personal revolutions, 140 artists come together for a publication dedicated to the environment and the climate emergency.

As part of Serpentine’s Back to Earth project and in collaboration with Penguin Press, 140 artists, scientists, architects, filmmakers and more contribute ideas to a ‘do-it-yourself’ guide on how to shape a more ecological and equitable future.

This is the result: a compendium of recipes, sketches, photographs, essays, spells, and instructions that ask us to engage with the climate emergency in new and imaginative ways in our daily lives, in our homes and communities, parks and public spaces. The contributors of the book invite you to scribble on these pages, to rip them out and take them to a protest, letting the book become a companion in thinking about new futures.
