Curatorial Statement

What does the Anthropocene mean? How do we play with words? And what messages do we have here in the Okanagan? This participatory exhibition invites everyone to write a card from the Greeting Cards of the Anthropocene project by Craig Campbell on “Tis the Season for Wildfire Folly,” or play Scores for Energy Transition game by Natalie Loveless, or create a sound greeting card with Fiona McDonald’s Sensory Storytelling calling card.

Curated by: Fiona P. McDonald, Craig Campbell, and Natalie Loveless
