No Borders. No Carbon. Its going to take us a long time to work out how to get there, but if those aren't our baseline goals, then we are merely making the situation worse. Start thinking, helping, learning, educating.

Nobody is coming to save us. We learn to build another future together or we all burn. The tools are available; let's start using them. A better anthropocene is possible.

There's no point making work "about" climate change. In times of crisis, the work has to work, it has to do work. Artistic praxis should be part of the change we wish to see: practical, educational, regenerative.
Artists and institutions seem content to merely ‘address’, ‘engage with’ or ‘respond to’ the climate crisis. It’s time for a concerted shift towards action

This is a fantastic book. Finally got my hands on a copy a few weeks ago. Highly recommend you do the same.
Can hardly believe it, but it’s just about been one whole year since the publication of Klara and the Bomb!. Some favourite pages to celebrate! 💣 🖥️ 🏝️ 🌊 . There aren’t many copies left (it was a small edition!), but still a few with the publishers
