Epoch of Change: Footprints of Humanity

Artists are invited to explore the interconnected relationship between humanity and nature while responding to our shifting earth and climate. The Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems enough to constitute a distinct geological change. Possible markers of the Anthropocene include microplastics, heavy metals or radioactive nuclei left by tests from thermonuclear weapons. Epoch of Change calls on artists to pose ethical, political and spiritual questions about the implications of the Anthropocene and the future of our planet.
