Anthropocene: Rocking the Future of Food

This is the dawning of the Anthropocene. What this means is that humankind is now the most impactful geological force on the planet. In participatory workshops, we explore relationships between food and rock, specifically the planet’s geological record, the strata of rock that will tell the story of humankind’s impact.

Workshops:

  • Edible Insects: why bother?
  • Plastiglomerate: Anthropocene Rock
  • Fungi Rules the World
  • Dinner is served… on Mars.

Assembly:

  • Voyage to Anthropocene: a performance concert.
