This workshop uses the project Feral Atlas: The More-than-Human Anthropocene as a framework. Feral Atlas argues that a juxtaposition of varied modes of empiricism — from Indigenous knowledge to natural science to poetry — can show us the “patchy Anthropocene” that we need to acknowledge to address social and environmental challenges, both local and planetary.
