This misalignment arises from the disparities in the communication and dissemination of climate science to the wider public. The recent recognition of the Anthropocene, a new geological epoch shaped by human influence, necessitates fresh approaches to convey the intricacies of climate change. Art emerges as a dynamic tool for reimagining these conversations, offering an alternative to the traditionally exclusive methods of climate communication confined to academic circles.
During my senior year at the University of Vermont, I embarked on a transformative journey of crafting a book that dismantles the artificial divide between art and science. This endeavor entails blending personal narratives and illustrations with insights into climate science, the Anthropocene concept, sense of place, and systems theory. My aspiration is to weave a seamless narrative that captures the experience of a young individual grappling with these themes on the brink of the Anthropocene era. It encompasses the questions that arise, the anxieties, the uncertainties, the hope, and the chaos inherent in such a pivotal juncture.
"The Geography of Home" is intended for seekers of a new realm of climate communication—one anchored in personal encounters and the intricate connections between natural and social systems. Through the fusion of visual art and written expression, this graphic novel evolves into a catalyst for a fresh discourse and an enriched comprehension of the swiftly evolving challenges within the Anthropocene epoch.
