How could collaboration maintain a habitable planet? What concepts of the world underlie political and social approaches to a transforming Earth system? How can a variety of worldviews be transformed into shared planetary-scale practices that could address the current challenges?

A gathering hosted by Haus der Kulturen der Welt in collaboration with the artist Koki Tanaka, Where is the Planetary? is a collective search for models of living together on Earth. Following five central questions, researchers, artists, and activists seek ways to transform the multitude of perspectives and cosmologies into a common agency.

This week I am excited to participate in Episode 1, which asks: What are the conditions for habitability?

Where is the Planetary? is a three-day event, running from 14 to 16 October. Find out more and browse the event schedule here.
