Description:

TANC The Apocalypse is Not Coming conference is a transdisciplinary meeting that brings together researchers, artists, activists, and professionals to reflect collectively on apocalyptic imagery and its implications in the context of contemporary crises. Rather than considering the apocalypse to be an inevitable fate, the conference is based on the idea that it is a social construct that influences how we interpret and address current ecological, technological and geopolitical challenges.

Spanning four days, the programme combines scientific sessions, workshops, artistic interventions and collaborative debate spaces to explore regenerative alternatives to 'end of the world' narratives. The conference promotes dialogue between diverse disciplines and practices, from ecofeminism and environmental justice to the arts, ecological spirituality and participatory technologies, with the aim of rethinking imaginaries, generating new collaborations, and paving the way for more just and sustainable futures.
