The international workshop '(opens in a new window)Antiquity and the Anthropocene' re-examined ancient perceptions of nature, power, and power over nature to help us better understand our own relationship with the environment. By offering a lively and challenging setting for discussion to international scholars and artists, the workshop fostered interdisciplinary approaches to explain the relationship between human societies and their natural environments, providing a novel interpretative framework for current and past environmental crises. Building on the success of this event, Dr Giacomo Savani and Dr Matthew Mandich are planning a new, cognate workshop in December 2021. This will expand on some of the themes that emerged from the first event, with a focus on the materiality of ancient environments and the concept of sustainability in Antiquity, combining once again academic papers and conversations with artists (provisional title: 'Archaeology and the Anthropocene').
