The authors and contributors are leading figures in the field of Blue Humanities--an emergent discipline ranging from historical to visual to cultural and literary studies on oceans--and they bring a rich range of expertise to the project. At this crucial time in which the health of the Pacific Ocean is in an increasingly fragile and volatile state, it is now more important than ever to document and share these individuals' work as we strive to raise awareness and foster a greater consciousness of how artists are making vital contributions to improving the ecological conditions of our oceans and coastal environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransformative Currents\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e addresses an important gap in art historical literature by not only addressing the complexities of this crucial subject matter, but also offering a platform for Indigenous writers and artists' voices to be considered in dialogue with their Western colleagues.
