This guided walking tour of Canary Wharf, London linked the workplaces of financial firms to the effects their activities have on the world. Features encountered at street level—like place names, plant species, public artwork, and architectural designs—reveal the paradoxes and contradictions of corporate global actions. Walking tour participants rediscovered the landscape of an urban financial district in light of environmental emergency and gained a deeper understanding of the designer’s role in the making of our current geological epoch, the Anthropocene.

The event was led by the CCA’s 2018-2019 Emerging Curators, Sben Korsh and Maxime Decaudin.
