Welcome to the Anthropocene | Debate with philosophers Peter Sloterdijk and Bernard Stiegler
Monday June 27, 2016 | De Vereeniging, Nijmegen

Since the industrial revolution earth has entered new territory. By digging up and using large amounts of oil and coals, among others, technology has taken flight. But this has brought us more than progress alone. While climate change persists and plastic waste is accumulating, the consequences for our planet are only now beginning to dawn on us.
