“CONSTRUCTS FOR THE ANTHROPOCENE is a compilation of studio and public art projects addressing some of the prime concerns of climate disruption. The selected constructs are examples of environmental and social actions, intended as suggested approaches for mitigating climate change effects through publicly sited art, in what could be considered an ecological call to arms. The exhibition presents a wide range of tactics sequestration of greenhouse gases, potable water supplies, sustainable energy, and climate equity.
Creative thinkers are well equipped to engage with complex issues and communicate the urgency of human response to ensure our survival on the planet. The Anthropocene epoch is of our making and will require us all to transition creatively to an adaptive future that is both life-sustaining
and poetic.”
