Voyagers: Our journey into the anthropocene

From the beginning, we have been wanderers. Our explorations have rewarded us with land, resources, food and knowledge, but have also pushed planetary systems to breaking point—and still we seek new seas to fish, oil deposits to drill, forests to fell.

Award-winning science writer Lauren Fuge takes us on a journey from the fjords of the Pacific Northwest to the geology of outback Australia to the edges of the known universe, and asks: what drives our urge to explore? Can we find in our voyaging history the tools to reimagine our future?

This conversation will be chaired by Sydney Morning Herald’s Science Reporter Angus Dalton and is a call for us to shift our mindset, reconsider our relationship with nature and reset our future beyond relentless consumption.
