CARE BEYOND CRISES

CARE BEYOND CRISES ∙ By Design or by Disaster Conference 2020

17–19 December 2020 – online and convivial

with Niels Hendriks (Dementia lab), Amy Franceschini (Future Farmers), Bianca Elzenbaumer (Alpine Community Economies Lab / Brave New Alps) Andrea Vetter (Laboratory for new economic ideas), Andreas Unteidig (MA Transformationdesign, HbK Brunswickshig), Elke Krasny (exhibition & book: ‘Critical Care – Architecture and Urbanism for a Broken Planet’) and many more.

Coping with crises through care. Care as a way leading beyond crises. As both, coping practices and transformation approach… With this focus, we are preparing our annual conference of the MA Eco-Social Design By Design or by Disaster 2020, actually for the third time. We had to cancel the two conferences in April and in October after having prepared them. We don’t give up, but do another online „social un-distancing-experience“ building upon our first Beyond Crisis Conference, which took place during the first lockdown in April. 
Online conferences can be tiring. Therefore, we want to make it a lively exchange and dance of diverse actors and matters of concern – inspiring inputs, meaningful dialogues and playful collaborations for all senses. We want to build up on your needs and ideas – our participants, speakers, workshoppers and session jammers. Therefore, we open a lightweight and quick call (extended to 7 December) for short 7-minute Talks and Presentations, Collaborative Workshops (1,5-2h) and Sessions for all Senses (free format with music, performance, dialogue, and all kinds of body-mind experiences). The selected submissions will become part of the proceedings. Please use this form to submit your proposals, or enter your ideas, needs and expectations as a participant while registering here. Based on all this we will form clusters of short inputs combined, dialogical formats, workshops and sessions for all sense around emerging sub-topics such as mutual care practices and networks, care-enabling structures, transformation by care, care for food- & agri-cultures, care for commons, care in community economies, care and activism, care for climate justice, care for more-than-humans, …

“On the most general level, we suggest that caring be viewed as a species activity that includes everything that we do to maintain, continue, and repair our ‘world’ so that we can live in it as well as possible. That world includes our bodies, our selves, and our environment, all of which we seek to interweave in a complex, life-sustaining web.”

      Dear Marco,
      we will use zoom and for visual facilitation miro. The language of most workshops will be english. Eventually some will be in italian or german.
      Later, mid December, you will be able to inscribe to a specific workshop.
      think positive, stay negative! ><

    Yours Peter Schönhöffer
