ESEH - Postcards for Unstable Times

"In this project the Society explores alternative ways to showcase stories, environments, and landscapes from throughout Europe (and potentially beyond). We have focussed our attention on (digital) postcards as medium. You can visit our exhibition at @eseh_postcards on Instagram.

Our postcards are intended to be windows of opportunity that may provide alternative readings of the world in times of crisis and radical change. The authors use their skills as environmental historians and humanists to speak to the future from the present, the present from the past, or the past from the future. Our hope is to present stories that may contribute to a sense of the incommensurable scale of the changes we are facing. To use Arundhati Roy’s metaphor, we aim at offering portals into another world. And, to cite Andri Snær Magnason, we explore what words we can use to effectively describe such a world.

The @eseh_postcards account has been launched during ASEH’s 2021 Environmental History Week. We are still on the outlook for further postcards. If you have a postcard you want to discuss, get in touch with us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.."
