ABSTRACT

Inspired by a street art image of a Balinese dancer wearing a gas mask, this paper maps climate change systems and their impacts on the Tropics. Beginning with global expanses of melting ice sheets, it rides the currents of oceanic and atmospheric systems, explores rainforests and coral reefs, wanders the seas of the Indonesian archipelago, until it comes to rest on the island of Bali. Complementing climate science with climate imagination, the paper draws on the classic elements and ecological images of thought to demonstrate tropical imaginary, jungle imaginary and archipelago imaginary as ways for perceiving the complexities of climate change. As it draws to a close, the paper pictures Slinat's street art images, musing on how their Balinese cultural-environmental messages resonate globally and act as a poignant reminder of how humans are implicated within climate change.

摘要

灵感来自戴着防毒面具的巴厘岛舞蹈演员的街头艺术形象，该地图绘制了气候变化系统及其对热带地区的影响。从全球范围广泛的冰盖融化开始，它驾驭海洋和大气系统的潮流，探索热带雨林和珊瑚礁，徘徊在印度尼西亚群岛的海洋中，直到停滞在巴厘岛。通过将气候想象与气候想象相结合，本文借鉴了经典要素和思想生态图像，展示了热带虚构，丛林虚构和群岛虚构作为感知气候变化复杂性的方式。快要结束时，纸上画着Slinat的街头艺术图像，
