Climate Commons is launching a new initiative on Friday afternoons aimed at creating an informal conversational space to talk about β€œwhat it feels like to be in this moment” of rising right wing populism with spiral effects impacting so many communities and the planet – and – to reflect on how we figure out the things we can do collectively in response? The concept of β€œthis is that moment” is Β rather than being defeated by the big forces that would like to defeat alternative justice and climate justice initiatives, this is that moment to figure out how to deepen care work, Indigenous and racialized justice work, planetary work, and so much more. Β Through a “Creating and Talking, Making and Mending” approach,Μύwe hope to invite practices ofΒ creation and/or practices of mendingΒ that will enhance collaborative thinking towards more just shared futures.Β These could involve collaging and other art practices, a quarterly zine, reading a creative text likeΒ A Half Built Garden, meeting at the β€œAir of Now and Gone” CUAG climate art show for a visit with the show, showing up to mend and repair worn garments and many other possibilities. This first meeting will be an open format for collective brainstorming.
