Anthropocene

Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
Kaohsiung City, Taiwan

Anthropocene is a major exhibition that tells the story of our human impact on the planet through photographs, films and immersive experiential technologies. Co-presented by the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and the National Gallery of Canada, and co-produced with Fondazione MAST, Bologna, Italy, the exhibition is a component of The Anthropocene Project by photographer Edward Burtynsky and filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nicholas de Pencier. In addition to being showcased in Canada, the exhibition toured Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Argentina from 2020 to 2023.

The Taiwan leg of the tour marks the first inclusion of local artists Chi Po-Lin, Yang Shun-Fa, Lucas K Doolan, and Lu Yu-Jui, who join in exploring the effects of the "Anthropocene" on the Earth, prompting a reevaluation of the relationship between human-altered landscapes, geological variations, and natural ecology.
