T.J. Demos, Anna Tsing, and Jennifer González will be in conversation to launch HAVC Professor Demos' new book: Against the Anthropocene: Visual Culture and Environment Today.
Addressing the current upswing of humanities-based, scientific and environmental arts and attention in relation to the recent proposition that we have entered a new human-driven epoch called the Anthropocene, this new book by cultural critic and art historian T.J. Demos presents a critical overview of that thesis, and its limitations in conceptualisation and in practice.
