<b>Intersecting Creative Geographies with Spatio-Temporalities:
Art and Science in Time of Crises <br>
</b>
<br>
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.<br>
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. <br>
