At the End of the Islands
after the screening of the film AS THE TIDE COMES IN, dir. Juan Palacios, Sofie Husum Johannesen
The story of the inhabitants of a small Danish island Mandø, who work together to oppose the dire consequences of climate change, will become the starting point for a conversation about the Anthropocene and its impact on our everyday life and various fields of culture and art. The meeting is an introduction to the exhibition by Agata Ingarden, which can be viewed from 16 May at 66P – Subjective Institution of Culture. Together with Agnieszka Pindera, the exhibition curator, and Renata Tańczuk, a cultural studies scholar, we will reflect on the Anthropocene and the Capitalocene as socio-natural phenomena and their impact on our ideas about the future of the human and non-human universes.
