Styles of the Anthropocene

BY CORINNE RIVERA

‘Styles of the Anthropocene’ aims to humanise the climate crisis, injecting harsh truths into familiar spaces. Rooted in grief, the series sparks curiosity about issues like algae blooms, oil spills and microplastics. The artist suggests framing climate conversations with a fashion-influenced lens can broaden engagement and foster a new connection to the natural world.

ABOUT CORINNE

Corinne has been a creative environmentalist her entire life. After twelve years of arts education at the Rudolf Steiner School in NYC, a curriculum integrated with biodynamic systems and soil microbiology, she received a dual degree in Communications and African-American history from CUNY Hunter College. Her affinity for people and highly curated spaces led her to become Head of Sales at The Assemblage Nomad and co-founder of Soul Collective, a digital marketing and events platform now in Berlin.

Corinne became a full-time sustainability consultant in 2018 and has studied carbon markets and climate communications for the last five years. During the pandemic, Corinne launched a creative impact studio called UrFWB, with a mission to fund and artistically promote carbon solutions. UrFWB hosted an official NYC Climate Week event called Tellus – an immersive nightlife experience merging the worlds of installation design, fashion, and mythology to educate participants on four critical climate solutions: kelp, biochar, direct air capture, and old-growth redwoods.

Her consulting work and CFO empathy training workshops led her to the world of AI-predictive analytics. She now leads research strategy at the world’s largest civilian data platform, NWO.ai, focusing on climate-related cultural trends and geopolitics.
