In conversation with Adam Greenfield

Join us for a unique evening of genuine dialogue to explore the ideas of writer and thinker Adam Greenfield in a participatory setting. During this program, we will delve into how individuals and communities organize themselves to endure the collapse of climate systems while upholding the values of dignity and justice. By examining the tactics, structures, and practices historically relied upon by communities under various forms of pressure — from the Black Panther “survival programs” of the 1970s to the solidarity networks of crisis-era Greece, the mutual aid efforts that emerge after every natural disaster, and the collective power achieved in Rojava — Adam Greenfield aims to equip participants with effective tools for thought and action during life’s most challenging moments.

The conversation will invite participants to apply these insights to present-day examples and personal reflections, discussing practical implications, questions and concerns, and sharing existing knowledge. This is not an event with formal presentations but rather one of collective reading and conversations—a chance to sit in a circle and connect with Adam and with each other. This evening is about sparking an open conversation where everyone can share honest opinions, ideas, or criticisms, while also allowing space for vulnerability: presenting projects, asking questions, and expressing doubts or fears. The discussion will be guided to keep us on track and ensure everyone feels valued. There will be questions and prompts to enrich the conversations whilst also allowing the dialogue to flow naturally. This night is an opportunity for talking, sharing, and interaction—or simply listening and observing the dialogue as it unfolds.
