“What will the world look like ten thousand or ten million years from now?”In Footprints

David Farrier explores the traces we will leave for the very deep future. From long-lived materials like plastic and nuclear waste, to the 50 million kilometres of roads spanning the planet, in modern times we have created numerous objects and landscapes with the potential to endure through deep time.

Through literature, art, and science, Footprints invites us to think about how we will be remembered in the myths, stories, and languages of our distant descendants.

Fiona Boundy, public art commissioner will be in conversation with Andy and David exploring the connections between the book Footprints: In search of Future Fossils and the ideas behind the forthcoming public artwork Future Fossil and the audience is invited to take part by reading Footprints: In Search of Future Fossils by David Farrier ISBN: 9780008286347, HarperCollins Publisher. Available from Waterstones and other major booksellers.

The event will be Live Captioned.
