This compelling catalogue accompanies the Our Anthropocene: Eco‑Crises exhibition at the Center for Book Arts, curated by Gary Van Wyk. Featuring works by the Alma Collective and other artists, it explores humanity’s profound impact on the environment through book-based installations, prints, and sculptural objects that blend ecological concern with artistic expression.
With a thoughtful essay by Van Wyk and vibrant color reproductions, Our Anthropocene presents printworks crafted from organic and recycled materials—from faux-wood volumes to glacier‑inspired photo books—and visualizes environmental change as both material and metaphor .
Ideal for environmental artists, book‑arts practitioners, and critical ecologists, this tactile volume underscores the role of print and craft in responding to ecological crises, offering inspiration for creative intervention in the face of planetary transformation.
