Can TikTok save the planet? An a/r/tographic inquiry in three parts

This article explores climate change-related public pedagogies on TikTok through an a/r/tographic inquiry into post-digital processes of personal and collective meaning-making during socioecological crisis. It demonstrates how theory, creative intervention and speculative imagination interweave across three interconnected a/r/tographic renderings: The first section of this article examines how TikTok mediates understanding around climate change; The second section presents an artistic intervention exploring artivism on the platform and the third section moves into speculative fiction that reflects underlying tensions and possibilities. By illustrating all three strands within one paper, I offer a methodological contribution to a/r/tography, wherein these strands coexist, creating space for complex, emergent understandings.
