Imagine Earth will gather internationally prominent researchers, artists and young researchers related to the field of environmental humanities. It will take the form of a two-day conference held at the museum 8-9 June.
The purpose of Imagine Earth is to provide a forum for reflections on the urgent task of developing an aesthetics of the age commonly but also contestedly designated the Anthropocene, focusing in particular on imagining and imaging the earth, its processes and transformations in non-dominant ways.
