The Post Anthropocene Compost started out as traditional compost bin at Street Road as part of Adrian Barron's Heterotopia West. The first iteration, begun in 2019, imagines and initiates the im/possibility of composting materials of our post-Anthropocene age.

We invite you to join us: to do so, (1) from the photos above, pick out an interesting piece of trash that has washed up on the shores of the Rivers 41 and 926, and (2) compose a short text to celebrate it. Email or send this to us and we’ll photograph and archive your contribution with your item, then back into the bin your matter goes.

Update, 2021
New valencies attach to the Post-Anthropocene bin as Laura Florence, a participant in our Summer Library Project, renews and extends this ongoing project, renaming the container The Anti-anthropocene bin, and asking, what does it mean to decompose, decay, return to an elemental original form? Visitors are still invited to add to the bins. See here for full details.

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
