The ArtsLink Assembly 2019 focused on the Anthropocene, the emerging concept of a geological epoch defined by the impact of humanity on natural development. The Assembly brought together key practitioners of arts and social practice including CEC ArtsLink’s Fellows, alumni, and Art Prospect Network, in dialogue with peers in the US and abroad, arts and social justice organizations, media, academics and foundations. Topics included ecology, social inequality, cultural activism and mobility, artists in exile, rising nationalism, and food justice.
