Talk and discussion by Francesca Cotta | Camping with purpose
Unpacking a crisis

in the framework of the exhibition "Critical Zones", Topic:Permaculture

Sat, 03.12.2022
4:00 PM - 18:00 Zapurza Museum for Arts & Culture

This year, words like 'polycrisis' and 'permacrisis' have entered the official lexicon. These are perhaps a better way to describe the times we are living in and headed towards rather than just looking at the climate crisis or ecological crisis as isolated events. But what does this word crisis even mean? How do we understand the multiple crises that we humans face today? And what do we do about it?
