NEW in our Creative Showcase

The latest feature of recent work from our members is Peter Reason‘s Songs for Earth: “How does one sing in the face of the ecological crisis — the disruption of the process of life itself, permanent loss of evolutionary complexity, permanent endings of patterns of being? Songs for Earth are my response: songs of grief and rage; of beauty and blessing; of belonging.” Also: Ursula Troche‘s performance video, Picked Up the First Pieces, exploring the growing threat of ‘ghost gear’ and the haunting of our seas by plastic waste. And Stormy Weather, a short film poem from Laura Donkers conveying collective collusion in climate change through verbal message, moving film image, and soundscapes of Cyclone Gabrielle, bird song and dance music. Explore many other works: comic books, courses, film, fiction, nonfiction, memoir, music, poetry, stand-up comedy, visual art, zines and more.

NEW in the Museum of the Anthropocene

Our online Museum of the Anthropocene shares content from a project that geographer Dr Martin Mahony is running with third-year students on the University of East Anglia’s Geography and Environmental Sciences course. “From world-changing technologies to humble consumer goods, and from family heirlooms to priceless works of art, each year the Museum is stocked with objects which tell stories of both personal and planetary significance.” In his latest post, Centrifugal Stories in the Anthropocene, Martin introduces the second collection of students’ objects, and how our Museum of the Anthropocene’s ‘centrifugal’ stories resist casting all of humanity together as progenitors of our new planetary age.

Environmental Keywords – interdisciplinary conversations

Throughout 2022, we worked with the University of Bristol Centre for Environmental Humanities to explore interdisciplinary meanings of some keywords in our climate and biodiversity crisis. Our online materials complement the University’s workshops for researchers, community groups and creative practitioners. See our project pages for blog posts and more than 25 creative contributions from our members on themes of Environmental Justice, Resilience and Transitions – and our prototype ‘Undisciplined Glossary’!
