Abstract (EN): To address the issue of art, sustainability, and ecosystems, we use the contributions of theories that address the sensory experiences of individuals as a means of social, political, and cultural analysis. What we want to say is that the use of a sensory-theoretical approach can - in the context of analysing and reflecting on art, sustainability, and artistic ecosystems - enable a theoretical and empirical advance in the sensory experiences of social agents - artists, activists, or others - forming the basis of a comprehensive contemporary political-cultural project, because this sensory reflection is centred on difficulties, acts of resistance and the reversal of dominant-hegemonic ‘orders of feeling’ (and creating). Here, we also bring into the discussion the contemporary conceptualization around activism and artivism, as we consider it indispensable for addressing the conceptual and empirical richness that underlies the chapters that make up this book: the spaces and places of artistic ecosystems. In addition, it is essential not to mention the concept of resistance against monopolies of power within the scope of artistic production; at the same time, the themes of sustainability and pedagogy, serving and illustrating the purpose of sensitive DIY as a democratizing agency in contemporary times; it is very relevant to consider in this book sensitivity and its impact on social agents, mainly how they communicate and create anti-hegemonic strategies, with a vital gender component; the theoretical-empirical materialization, in different time-spaces, of the concept of low-tech and high-tech about ‘wild design’ or about sensitive DIY; all this analysis also involves collaborative creations and utopia: those new micro-ecosystems and emerging means of sustainability that we mentioned earlier.
