Anthropocene Venice 2021–
Ca’ Foscari University of Venice hosts a number of interdisciplinary research groups and projects that engage with the Anthropocene—specifically with the fields of water politics and waterscapes, ecocriticism, and ecological art practices. This research community, whose work has been given a common framework since Anthropocene Campus Venice 2021, aims at creating platforms for discussion, spaces for co-learning, occasions for international collaborations and projects, and systems for archiving and mapping the Anthropocene in (and about) Venice and Italy.
