(Archive) Calm in crisis

of activism and care

This project was part of DDW 2023
Head out of the Sand

“Calm in Crisis” aims to open a space to engage with climate feelings. Different levels of activism are communicated in 5 objects. Depending on the context, the objects can be used as recreational tools, protest tools, or to educate about the issue of climate feelings in the form of a workshop.

As the most global crisis, climate change requires all kinds of activism. The climate activism that goes with it cause motivation, action but also stress for many people who are in touch with the issue. Within one's own engagement, one finds oneself facing a seemingly endless mountain of work. On the other hand, climate change itself triggers fears for the future, sadness and anger, especially among people of the younger generation.

The various emotions can paralyse, but also release energies that are bundled into protest actions and demonstrations.

The objects in the CALM IN CRISIS series communicate scenarios of climate activism in different ways. In different contexts, the objects can be used as recreational tools, in a climate demonstration or to develop new forms of protest. In five different objects, situations of climate activism are visualised and made tangible. The individual objects convey different feelings that can be experienced in relation to the climate crisis.

Making the importance of climate activism visible is an essential part of CALM IN CRISIS, which aims to bring action to the foreground and counteract powerlessness.
