One of my year highlights was working on this project. We explored how to make sense of the Anthropocene and its casting backwards and forwards in time, the long lives of some materials, and how wasting generates meaning and value. You can view the zine we made at the link.
Join "Wasting Time" on a journey that moves from deep history to the deep future, as they use speculative storytelling and creative practices to follow wastes and their processes, to bring different aspects of the Anthropocene into focus.
