RESERVE A SEAT 

TICKET: Free + 10 DKK in fee (please note, the ticket does not include entrance to the museum).

The two architects will introduce the show and discuss some of the most important questions raised by the exhibition together with two experts within the research field of “The Anthropocene.”

Cave_bureau focuses on local cultures and peoples in Kenya and Africa who are affected by the green transition. Under the title The Anthropocene Museum, they highlight one of the most controversial topics of our time, the “age of humankind,” which is the geological time period that we are said to live in now.

In a conversation with Mark Williams, Professor of Palaeobiology, and Linguist and Senior Lecturer in African languages, Dr. Ida Hadjivayanis, Cave_bureau will discuss some of the problems faced by the African continent in a time of crisis such as the Anthropocene.

Please note that the talk is set for approximately an hour and will be in English.
