Art histories, Catastrophes, (Heritage), Ecologies [AC(H)E]: a collaborative project on the role of art history in the Anthropocene

Our project considers art history in and of the Anthropocene, from a disciplinary and trans-disciplinary perspective. This includes a rethinking of its methodologies, objects and fields of inquiry, and questions its potential contribution to save the planet, a precarious environment of human/non-human cohabitation, the biospshere and technosphere. The project participates and positions itself in the ongoing foundation and elaboration of eco-art history as an open agenda, intertwining conceptual and empirical work as well as addressing issues of heritage and dealing with disasters.
