Humanity is changing the Earth in ways never seen before. The oceans are acidifying, the climate is changing, and the world is awash in plastic. Scientists are telling us that we have pushed the Earth into an entirely new state, one dominated by human activity. 

 

Welcome to the Anthropocene: the era of humankind

 

If we have the power to shape the deep future of the Earth and all living things upon it, then how should we think, act and feel in this decisive moment?

 

Come for a wild ride through our ancient WA landscapes as never seen before over a drink at the pub.

“Places matter. Their rules, their scale, their design include or exclude civil society, pedestrianism, equality, diversity (economic and otherwise), understanding of where water comes from and garbage goes, consumption or conservation. They map our lives [...] the way we inhabit places also matters, and that comes from experience, imagination, belief, and desire as much as or more than from architecture and design. In other words, the mind and the terrain shape each other: every landscape is a landscape of desire to some degree, if not always for its inhabitants”
Solnit, R. 2007. Storming the Gates of Paradise: Landscapes for Politics, p.9.
