Description
A Resilients Salon with Dougald Hine and Ben Vickers
Writer and collapsonomist Dougald Hine hosts a conversation about how we make a living and support each other in times of precariousness and disruption. As artist-in-transience with The Resilients Project, he is exploring the possibilities of guild-like structures of mutual aid as a strategy for resilience. Dougald will be joined by his regular co-conspirator, Ben Vickers, who has been part of the Temporary School of Thought, the Really Free School and The University Project, and is currently developing a Professional (Reality) Development Programme for arts students at Brighton University.
Resilients Salons are conversations about cultural resilience in its many forms. Every salon hosts a guest who engages participants in a discussion about a resilience-related topic, such as long-term thinking, augmented gardening or disaster drills. The atmosphere is casual to inspire participation of everyone involved, accompanied with thematic food and drinks. The salons are a part of the pan-European Resilients Project where six organisations speculate on and experiment with possible futures.
