We could make a collection of pictures that capture the concept of "caring for future generations". I have been moved and inspired by this picture of John Kerry signing the Paris Agreement with his granddaughter on his lap. He said that she represented future generations. 

I keep coming back to this Calvin and Hobbes strip, which captures an important part of the EA mindset (something we're trying to fight), I think:

I run a digital art studio, and some of my work is inspired by Effective Altruism themes and ideas.

Particularly, Shared Identity, Shared Values and Science and Identity borrow heavily from the community.

For animations, these two came to my mind:

Ted Chiang's "The Lifecycle of Software Objects" (included in one of his collections of stories, Exhalation) is a fascinating exploration of digital sentience.

Apuleius's The Golden Ass is an ancient novel (the only complete surviving Roman novel!) in which the protagonist accidentally turns into an ass.  Although I haven't read the novel, Peter Singer seems to think that it is a good vehicle for conveying empathy towards other animals.

J.M. Coetzee's The Lives of Animals is a peculiar story of a novelist (much like Coetzee himself) delivering a set of lectures on humans' treatment of the other animals, along with surrounding tensions and encounters. 

I thought you might also highlight classic, historical, and even ancient works that convey important ideas?

I often think of Dr. Seuss's cartoon about foreign children, which I think applies in a variety of contexts:

(His cartooning has a complicated history.)

To learn illustrator, I created a few posters for EA Denmark:

I didn't pay to acquire the rights for the assets I burrowed so they just hang in my room :)

I loved this post!! This website has a bunch of art collected that people have submitted because it  inspires them to feel existential hope: https://www.existentialhope.com. It's not been updated for a few years now but I work for Foresight Institute who created the website and this year we are going to do a big re-vamping of it. If you have more of this type content I think it would be great to feature on the XHope web :)

The Good Ancestor by Roman Krznaric notes a host of examples of art that help stimulate conceptions of deep time, the future, future generations, etc. that may be relevant to longtermism.

• Various works by Katie Paterson such as Vatnajökull (the sound of)
  or Fossil Necklace
• The Future Library
• A pollution machine created by the Future Energy Lab for the UAE government to viscerally convey what air quality would be like in 2034 without intervention
• Various other experiential/immersive/VR ways of conveying, say, the horrors of factory farming or environmental degradation
• Clock of the Long Now or 10,000 year clock by the Long Now Foundation
• There seem to be quite a few musical pieces being played slowly or on repeat for hundreds of years - e.g. John Cage's As Slow As Possible

From Wikipedia: "The Butter Battle Book is a rhyming story written by Dr. Seuss. It was published by Random House on January 12, 1984. It is an anti-war story; specifically, a parable about arms races in general, mutually assured destruction and nuclear weapons in particular."

It's short and on point, and I quite like the ending. 

1. The #EffectiveAltruism tag on TikTok is pretty hit or miss, but arguably qualifies as art. Playlists aren't viewable in the web client, but I have an effective altruism playlist in my profile (@Benthamite) if you use the mobile app.
   1. Various social media meme groups are similar, notably DEAM/OMfCT. See also the meme tag on the EA forum.
2. Jason Crawford has progress-related poems
3. Some wedding related poetry/vows here
4. José Oliveira makes artwork in exchange for donations to AMF and has a large portfolio of such paintings, although the subject matter is usually not EA related.
5. Secular solstice often has EA-adjacent themes

At Effective Giving Quest, we’re aware of several video and board games that are relevant to EA, either because they deal with the topic of EA directly or because the developers behind the games are EAs themselves.

We have not yet launched, and so are still in the process of standardizing a way for EA-friendly developers to commit to giving a set percentage of their profits toward EA causes. Once we do this, we should have a much more comprehensive list of relevant-to-EA video and board games that we can share with the EA community.

I'll come back to edit this post with a list of EA-relevant games after EGQ launches.

Chekhov's The Petcheneg is a delight that touches on vegetarianism, farmed animal welfare, wild animal welfare, and moral cluelessness, all just in service of character and plot development...Link: https://www.ibiblio.org/eldritch/ac/petcheneg.htm

I’ve actually had a concept for an EA/EA-adjacent drawing/painting stuck in my head for a while now, but 1) I can’t recall/determine whether it is just closely related to something someone has already made and I saw, and 2) I suck at drawing/painting, so I was hoping to see if there were any more-artistically inclined people who might be interested in realizing the concept.

Basically, it’s a symbolism-heavy painting about anti-death/longtermism/human striving, with most (~80%) of the left side darkened/shadowed, followed by a line of people on the right edge of the shadow, containing a variety of scenes of humanity/life, including one or two people trying to pass on a torch to someone/somewhere off the canvas. (I have plenty more details written down, but I’ll leave it at the basic idea here. If anyone 1) has seen something similar that I may just be forgetting, and/or 2) is interested/inspired to work on it further, just let me know! I would be personally very interested in seeing such a painting, but I totally lack the artistic skills to make it happen)
