This publication showcases international artists and their takes on the devastating consequences of the Anthropocene. A practice that can take the form of documentation and resistance, but also offer utopias and hopeful visions.
The economic exploitation of huge tracts of land, rising levels of soil sealing and the global effects of consumerism are addressed by artists today, alongside the capitalist manipulation of waste. A series of cooperative ventures, some of which are interdisciplinary in character, results in art projects that deal with the global food situation, the spread of epidemics and the consequences of colonialism, aiming at a change of perspective - projects that develop encouraging visions of a new relationship between humanity and nature and of an approach to our environment marked by mindfulness and respect.
