Re-imagining Land: Finding Joy and Solidarity in the New England Anthropocene

[Jessie Croteau]

Wild speculation is a tool to open up livable futures, say the editors at Flooded Pine Press. Join Holden Turner and Brianna Cunliffe for an interactive session on reimagining land, starting from the routes and worlds that we traverse each day. With joy-centered storytelling as a balm against inflammatory political rhetoric, the session will use exercises to prompt reflections about what we want to hold on to, and what we want to lose, in each of our local Anthropocenes. The editors will also offer a brief overview of their press’ ongoing series “Finding Joy and Solidarity in the New England Anthropocene” and their collaborations with the Ecological Design Collective.

This event continues the EDC’s 2024-25 itinerary for “Reimagining Land,” which explores ecology, history, and contemporary place-making efforts through experiential and virtual events.

The Ecological Design Collective is a non-profit project founded by researchers and community organizations in Baltimore and a growing community around the world. A collaborative initiative focused on addressing ecological crises through democratic and inclusive design, the EDC emphasizes social, economic, and environmental justice by calling on thinkers, artists, activists, designers, and the community to foster sustainable practice.
