A climate cultures evening with talks, readings, performance, and discussions. The occasion is the release of “Climatic Subjects“, a multi-genre anthology edited in a cooperation of project C05 "Intervening World Projections: Audiovisuality of Climate Change" and the Climate Culture network e.V.

We invite you to a climate cultures evening with spoken words and visuals, bodies and sounds, discussions and drinks. The main occasion is the release of our new publication “Climatic Subjects“, a multi-genre anthology edited in the wider context of the Climate Culture network e.V. together with University Vechta and FU Berlin. We proudly present you to some of our exiting contributors from a wide range of climate cultural thinking, writing, photographing, dancing, and filming.

Climatic Subjects. Who are they? Where are they? What are they doing? How can literature, together with science, arts and media, merging direct action with aesthetics, contribute to a new and productive view of what we would like to call Climate Culture? This night we knit a net with: performer Vera Shchelkina, climate journalist Angelina Davydova, poet and writer Zara Zerbe, writers and sound poets Michaela Vieser & Isaac Yuen, film scholar Matthias Grotkopp, cultural geograph Mike Hulme, journalist and media scholar Lebogang Neidhardt-Mokoena, and some ‚best of‘ from Climate Cultures festivals we had in Berlin.

It’s true: We do have good solutions, wider horizons, and exciting creative and powerful Climatic Subjects working on a better world. But it’s also true that there are powerful anti-climatic subjects in this world, turning back the clock toward a disastrous fossil fuel catastrophe. In this sense our evening could become a rallying cry: Climatic Subjects of the world, unite!
