The Anthropocene Curriculum

The Anthropocene Curriculum is a long-term initiative by Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW, Berlin) and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG, Berlin) that explores new frameworks for knowing, investigating, and understanding the Anthropocene. The project brings together scholars, artists, and activists from around the world to co-create and think about research possibilities and cross-disciplinary collaborations to tackle the planetary challenges we face.

Science Gallery Bengaluru participated in The Shape of Practise Seminar, a part of the 2020 Anthropocene Curriculum. We presented our format of “Living Exhibitions” as a means of using exhibitions as a form of public engagement that builds a dialogue on responsible stewardship of the planet. Our proposal was to use the exhibition space as a dynamic laboratory that challenges visitors with multi-sensory interactions, conversations, and debate—with the goal of building consensus on the critical issues of our times.
