ALREADY DONE!
Daily Survival Lab
At Frilagret Kulturhus, in Gothenburg; June 9 2020.
But here was the invitation:

Think together with artists about how art and playfulness can help people and society become more resilient, and experiment the future(?) of pandemic-proof cultural activities.

Try your survival skills, prepare survival plans, and create new fun projects together, all in line with the public safety recommendations from Folkhälsomyndigheten!
Working language is Swedish.

Totally free, with lunch included but registration is required.

Max. 10 participants!

The planet is on the verge of biological catastrophe, with predictions of devastating climate change and global pandemics to disturb our lives for many years!

Millions of people are to be displaced and join the global migration crisis exploited by populist and authoritarian forces to capture democracy!

Global income inequality grows, while the richest in the world plan for fancy space gated communities and start-ups raise millions to sell water and air!

Do you need to keep surviving every day but Positive Thinking isn't enough?
