Science Gallery Bengaluru (SGB) is developing a long-term public engagement programme that investigates the cultural, socio-economic, and scientific implications of the Anthropocene. In this new epoch, humans have become a force of nature, leaving their mark on the geological depths of the planet. With the objective of exploring a discourse on questions of the planet’s present and future, SGB will convene artists, scholars and the public to explore the Anthropocene through its interdisciplinary public engagement programme. For the 2020 Anthropocene Curriculum program The Shape of a Practice, SGB presented their format of “living exhibitions’’ as a means of using exhibitions as a form of public engagement that builds a dialogue on responsible stewardship of the planet. Conceptually led by Jahnavi Phalkey, the goal of the project was to build consensus on the critical issues of our times using the exhibition space as a dynamic laboratory that challenged visitors with multisensory interactions, conversations, and debate.
