Anthropocene Vernacular Reception and The American Bottom Gazette Launch Party

Organized by Matthew Fluharty and Jesse Vogler, Anthropocene Vernacular foregrounds the ways that the rewriting of human geo-logics is not simply something out therein the spectacularly disturbing landscapes that have come to signify our contemporary anthropocenic epochbut, rather, is deeply interwoven right here, in the decisions, assumptions, and textures of everyday life. Artists, researchers, and community organizers will share through a series of projects the multigenerational story of how this regions people have cultivated an embodied, everyday culture in the midst of the intense convergence of social, environmental, and economic crises. This Field Station presented as part of Haus der Kulturen der Welt's large-scale project Mississippi. An Anthropocene River, will focus on how the vernaculars of peoples, places, and landscapes have undergone layering and blurring in order to shape the region over time.
