How to talk about the Anthropocene, a visual poem


How to talk about the Anthropocene, a visual poem
I emailed  this visual poem to my local community inviting them to talk about the Anthropocene. There are over one hundred people in Herefordshire, where my work is grounded, who sent me feedback and collaborated on this project using the internet.


How to talk about the Anthropocene
The images represent an everyday landscape in Herefordshire – two train stations, Hereford and Holme Lacy. The latter is now disused and intertwined with nature.

The poem is an adaptation of an e-flux programme entitled ‘Quasi-Events: Building and Crumbling Worlds’, a conversation between anthropologist Elizabeth Povinelli, artist Julieta Aranda and editor Natasha Ginwala (2014).
