Art as Resilience in the Anthropocene

Popular culture today is filled with apocalyptic stories about “the end of the world.” Young people are keenly aware that they have inherited a broken natural world in which our planet’s life support systems have been destabilized by our modern way of life. A deluge of dystopian films, novels, TV series, and artworks mirrors these fears, threatening to paralyze us with “pre-traumatic stress disorder.”
