Abstract

The cultural movement centred on the Dark Mountain journal has generated considerable debate over the past ten years. In this report, one of Dark Mountain’s co-founders discusses the reception of the project, the relationship to the emergence of the ‘Anthropocene’ concept over the same period, and the relevance of Dark Mountain thinking and practice to the theme of ‘Endangered Knowledge.’
