Seminar "nature drawing nature" was co-organized by Pedro Soares Neves with Sara Schneckloth and Kiera O’Toole. The seminar took place on April 3rd and 4th, 2025, and resulted on the present issue of Black Book: Drawing and Sketching Online Journal.
We invited contributions that explore the interconnectedness of humans and nature through the lens of drawing. As part of nature, everything we create—every line, every mark—emerges from and interacts with the environment. This theme emphasizes drawing as a tool for reflection, care, and awareness, urging us to consider the impact of our actions on the delicate balance of ecosystems. Inspired by ideas of biodiversity preservation as gestures of hope and responsibility, and considering drawing as an ecological act, we sought papers that address drawing as both a creative and ethical practice.
