Recent discourse in creative education continues to explore and trouble the entanglements of activism — ecological, artistic and digital. The authors in this edition speculate the ways in which we can engage with response-able (Haraway, 2015) art and design practices, within socially and ecologically precarious worlds (Gobby, 2023). Unfolding through reflexive practices and pluralistic methodologies, these authors, educators, artists and designers imagine an anti-colonial future entanglement of human and non-human ecologies. A possible future where; space is held to tell stories, children inspire adults to be curious about their connections to environments and Land, art and design ecologies can be influenced by all, and practice(s) addresses the ‘complex, entangled, and interdependent human-land relations’ (Rallis, 2023, p. 2). Each article has been created through a unique lens, but all share a purpose — using creative education for active change.
