Survival will mean an urgent transformation of the ways we organise, produce and consume. That means a society that knows when to slow down and stop its relentless expansion of production and consumption. In place of economic growth it would value sufficiency: enough, but not too much, for everyone.
How can social and political momentum best be mobilised to bring about those changes democratically and with justice?
This conference will discuss these many challenges. There will be workshops, debates and discussions, artistic performances, walking tours and installations on the themes of the conference. It will also seek to contribute to the local political debate. It will strive to demonstrate and explore cutting-edge thinking and practice and also encourage political mobilisation amongst academics, activists, artists and policy practitioners.
The OPEN CALL for contributions is now available here.
