Human-Centric Sustainable Design: Redefining Artistic Practices in the Anthropocene

Abstract

In the Anthropocene, where human activities have become the primary force shaping the Earth's environment, artists and creatives hold the potential to instigate positive change. This paper explores the concept of human-centric sustainable Design, delving into the role of materials, the human body, and the reevaluation of teaching practices at educational institutions. Drawing from personal experiences and broader observations, the paper aims to illuminate how artists can contribute to a more sustainable and ecologically responsible world.
