Portraying the Self in the Anthropocene

Portraying the Self in the Anthropocene explores human experiences both locally and globally in the context of a rapidly changing physical world. In order to display the volatile, harsh, and simultaneously playful characteristics of interaction between humans and the natural world, we selected art books, prints, and photographs by a wide array of artists. We hope to bring to light the ways in which people have found appreciation for what the natural world can offer us and how we can take action to protect it.
