To Learn Comfortably in Common (which is politics)
Climate Care Festival, Floating University

Michelle Teran, Marc Herbst and participants of the sleepover conversation
In late-June, a group of 24 people slept at the Floating University. During their stay, the group engaged in different writing exercises, reflecting on their collective experience. In this two-hour conversation, the participants come back together to publicly share artefacts produced during the sleepover, including a 24-hour score, glossary of terms and a reading list.

Climate Care is a festival engaged with theory and practice at the intersection of climate challenges, ethics of care and environmental humanities. Emerging from weathering the conditions of its site – a rainwater retention basin in Berlin – the programme is a result of in-depth cohabitation with the constructed water infrastructure, its human culture and its multi-species overlays.
