This talk examines contemporary literature concerned with creative practices and economies at a planetary level. Its main argument is that literature and artistic creativity are advancing modes of creative care and solidarity that go beyond creative capitalism. The term “contemporary art novel” attempts to capture a significant transformation within literary narratives on art’s social role at a time when processes of neoliberalization have blurred the distance between art and life.

Join San Francisco-based artist Joshua Moreno as we investigate ideas of cultivation and familial histories by making terrariums. Like the Japanese-Californian citrus that appears in the work of artist Kelly Akashi, some plants are hybridized and carefully cultivated, while others, like weeds, sprout resiliently on their own. Akashi explores these ideas through her sculpture, investigating plant life as a metaphor for family.
