Line Marie Thorsen is a Postdoc and Deputy Director at the Center for Applied Ecological Thinking (CApE), Department of Cross Cultural and Regional Studies at the University of Copenhagen. Her research primarily focuses on environmental humanities, specifically delving into eco-art history, environmental anthropology, and the aesthetics of landscape transformation in the context of climate activism. Thorsen's PhD thesis explored the intersections of local ecological concerns and large-scale climate crises through the lens of East Asian art and aesthetic practices, where she examined how artists in Hong Kong and Japan mediate and articulate the effects of global climate change on local eco-material cultures. Furthermore, she investigates the regenerative practices of artist-farmers who confront contemporary environmental challenges. Her ongoing work in Denmark extends this research into the role of creative and artistic engagements in negotiating environmental issues and catalyzing ecological transformation. Thorsen collaborates with various Danish and East Asian actors to create a dialogue between artistic practices and ecological sustainability.
