Against the Anthropocene: The Many Names of Resistance

Tuesday, Oct. 10  5:15 PM   The Terrace Room, Margaret Jacks Hall

What new creative strategies are radical artists modeling to address challenges in the sphere of ecology? T.J. Demos draws on his new book, Against the Anthropocene: Visual Culture and Environment Today to explore how artists are partnering with science activists to form new collective aesthetics to   imagine a just and sustainable world in an era of catastrophic climate change. Demos writes widely on the intersection of contemporary art, global politics, and ecology.
