Field Station 5 (FS5) explores the geospatial politics of the human-centered era of the Anthropocene to instigate who, what, when, and how we're defining humans through site-specific outposts & in-depth analysis.
E06 Intro to Season 2: MIGRATION: PERSPECTIVES ON DISPLACEMENT IN THE ANTHROPOCENE.
Welcome back to Field Station 5: a project which explores the geospatial politics of the human-centered era known as the Anthropocene through site-specific outposts & in-depth analysis to instigate who, what, when, and how we're (re)defining "the human."
In this season, the field station finds itself stationed in Berlin, Germany the country which leads the EU in taking in migrants and has shaped the conversation on the EU’s so-called migrant crisis of 2015. This season I sit down with artists, scholars, activists, data scientists, climate policy advisors, and migration researchers to understand what migration means to this section of the global north.
