*Intersecting Creative Geographies with Spatio-Temporalities: Art and 
Science in Time of Crises
*
Over the past decade, geographers have increasingly embraced the 
creative turn, integrating artistic practices and emerging technologies 
to address social injustice, health crises, and environmental challenges 
(Hawkins, 2015, 2019, 2020; Madge, 2014; Ektander and Stuck, 2023). 
Examples include the role of smartphones in the lives of asylum seekers 
(Morgan, 2024), artistic interventions critiquing extractivism (Çaylı, 
2021), the development of climate models to support decision-making 
(Knox, 2020) and controlled clinical trials employing trust-based 
approaches for ethical knowledge production (Bijker et al., 2016). While 
both art and science have been mobilised as tools for solution-building, 
resistance, and empowerment, their transformative potential is shaped by 
competing interests, differing spatio-temporalities, and other 
structural constraints. This panel explores how artistic practices and 
technological innovations are spatially and temporally folded, 
contested, and weaponised within political and economic systems.
We invite discussions on how different forms of time—policy time, crisis 
time, bureaucratic time, and lived time—shape governance mechanisms and 
social justice struggles across multiple scales.

Keywords: creativity, crisis, power, resistance, spatio-temporalities
