Climate Emergency > Emergence, wrap-up

“With this final instalment, the Climate Collective reflects on its past year of programming. We recall highlights in the Climate Emergency > Emergence events and identify continuities and shared concerns among our many and diverse guest speakers' presentations. In addition, we situate the Climate Collective’s work within the last year of global climate breakdown, taking the four regional areas of our collective members into consideration: South Africa, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
We close this public programme initiative with a discussion of the necessary ongoing work ahead: to invent new forms of life that help us escape from the extractive conditions of racial and colonial capitalism's death spiral by proposing modes of ethical relationality, care work, collective solidarity, and reparatory futurism.”
— Climate Collective: T. J. Demos, Molemo Moiloa, Susan Schuppli and Paulo Tavares
