RADIUS READS: ON THE ANTHROPOCENE

RADIUS invites you to join RADIUS READS: ON THE ANTHROPOCENE, an event in connection to the current exhibition DISMANTLE THE ANTHROPOCENE — TERRESTRIAL TALES FROM THE LATE HOLOCENE. Drawing and expanding from the research behind the exhibition, the reading session seeks to open up a space for knowledge exchange and reflection in order to develop a counterpoint to the centripetal force of the dominant Anthropocene narrative, which privileges the exceptionalism of a particular, disembodied figure of “humankind”. The event consists of a guided tour of the exhibition and a reading session. During the session, we will read from a reader containing literature assembled especially for it. In a non-hierarchical and easygoing manner, we will be reading and discussing altogether. 

CONTRIBUTE
If you would like to participate, we ask you to consider sending us reading material on the Anthropocene of your liking to be included in the reader, together with its bibliographical reference. You may send any piece of writing (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc.) or images that you deem topical and interesting. Texts can be submitted in any language. We welcome pdfs, scans, and photographs so long as the text is readable. Sending material is voluntary. The deadline to send material is Friday 4 April, which can be submitted to publicprogramme@radius-cca.org.
