I Want to Eat the Earth: A Sonic Almanac From the New School of the Anthropocene # Winter Solstice 2025

The New School of the Anthropocene is a radical experiment in alternative education, away from marketisation and arcane specialism towards co-sensing systems change through creative practice. This is an ecological transmission of DIY ethics, non-hierarchical structures, radical networks, interconnected sensing through sound, text, voice, spoken word, human and more-than-human collaborative practice, patchwork group thinking, and radio art.

This radio show is a quarterly reflection of the global network of artists and thinkers gathered through the New School of the Anthropocene’s hybrid learning environment, a seasonal almanac-like montage of creative responses to the interdisciplinary thinking of the school and the discussions, collaborations and systems solutions being nurtured there.

The seasonal transmissions follow the sun-earth movements, each year beginning at the December solstice, moving through March equinox and June solstice and ending with September equinox. This episode is created for the December solstice, a time of extreme dark or light in either direction, a hunkering down in the wet earth or restoration beside a crisp winter sun. Curated and produced by Ambrose Hrebeniak, Simon McClelland Morris, and Chris de Selincourt in collaboration with NSOTA scholars, ensemble, and friends.

Contributions from Pearl Fish, Pascal Sleigh, Chris de Sel, Sk.ye, Josh Tucker, Blanc Sceol (Stephen Shiell & Hannah White), Michael Timmerman, Simon McClelland Morris, Sara McCrea, Meleah Moore, and Dougal MacArthur.
