This webinar featured Chris Tröndle and other members of the Camp Collapse Collective in Berlin.
Discover Camp Collapse here and here.

In this conversation, we discussed the activities of Camp Collapse, who use storytelling, performance art and immersive art forms to stimulate conversations around our predicament; and we touched on Chris’s MA thesis, titled “The End of the World as We Know it: Hope, Despair and Action among Deep Adapters” – which can be read here.

In his thesis, Chris explored the question “How do Deep Adapters imagine the future?” by sharing fictional stories collected from DA spaces. The research questions “Which emotions follow the acceptance of collapse as a possibility for the future and how are they dealt with?” and “How does anticipation of collapse influence everyday life and activism?” are explored in more detail through ethnographic research, describing elements of the Deep Adaptation journeys of himself and his research participants.

ABOUT THE CONSCIOUS LEARNING WEBINARS

This webinar is part of the Conscious Learning Festival (July to September, 2021), itself an offshoot of Wendy and Dorian’s participatory Action Research project in the Deep Adaptation Forum (see here). These webinars touch on the topics of learning, change, and Deep Adaptation. Where relevant, they will highlight the presenters’ “learning journey” into the Deep Adaptation Forum and beyond.
