Epoch of Change: Footprints of Humanity invites artists to explore the interconnected relationship between humanity and nature and respond to our shifting earth and climate.  

The Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geologic time, used to describe the most recent period in Earth’s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystems enough to constitute a distinct geological change.  Possible markers of the Anthropocene include microplastics, heavy metals, or radioactive nuclei left by tests from thermonuclear weapons. Epoch of Change: Footprints of Humanity calls on artists to pose ethical, political, and spiritual questions about the implications of the Anthropocene and the future of our planet.
