Impermanent Earth
A digital archive collecting personal observations of our changing world
Impermanent Earth was a digital community storytelling project that gathered memories of changing spaces in the face of climate change and rapid urbanization and industrialization. Started during the pandemic in 2020, the project collected stories from local people on five continents, participated in a Swiss public radio program, ran public workshops in Switzerland and the US, and received funding from the Zurich University of the Arts International Project fund before finishing in 2023.
