Arts of Living in the Anthropocene

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventParticipation in workshop, seminar, course

Description

‘Anthropocene’ is the proposed name for a geological epoch in which humans have become the main force determining the possibility of life and its forms on the planet. This epoch suddenly seems to make uncertain or even impossible life forms that have gone through centuries and millennia to form, and now seem unrecognizable or under immediate threat of destruction. Yet, ‘Anthropocene’ also names the collapse of the separation between the natural and the technical, and offers the possibility of experiencing life as something beyond the human or even the biological, that is, as a composition of forms that must be cultivated and cared for in order to exist, requiring ways of thinking that must necessarily become a true art of living.
