This project seeks to situate design in the light of the dilemmas, challenges and potentialities posed by the emergence of a new geological era in the history of planet Earth, marked by intense and dizzying environmental changes. This era has been designated based on an increasingly evident mark, associated with a specific type of human action: the Anthropocene. In order to investigate the implications of the Anthropocene on design, the project is organized into four fronts of action: (1) Bibliographic review and survey of the state of the art of studies on the Anthropocene, within and outside the field of design; (2) Situated Anthropocene: ethnographic, historical, geontological, narrative and speculative investigation in the region of the historic center of the city of Rio de Janeiro; (3) Learning by doing with Afro-indigenous perspectives; and (4) Design as a practice of permacultural correspondence. Aiming to gather scientific support for addressing contemporary social issues, such as maintaining the conditions of life in the Anthropocene, the project articulates social and anthropological approaches to the field of Visual Programming Design. Combining several methodological approaches, the project coordinates a series of teaching, research and extension actions to address the following objectives: Investigate what characterizes the Anthropocene; Identify the implications of the new geological era in Design; Gather reference material on Design and the Anthropocene; Point to epistemological and methodological reviews in the field of Design, in response to the challenges posed by the Anthropocene; Situate the Anthropocene, investigating the specificity of its incidence in the central region of the city of Rio de Janeiro; Circulate sustainable social knowledge and technologies, such as those produced by indigenous people, quilombolas, terreiro peoples, and movements linked to agroecology and permaculture; And apply knowledge of Visual Programming to the broad dissemination of the knowledge gathered.
