We live in the age of perpetual crisis. News feeds promote catastrophic thinking. The rapid destruction of the ecosystem underlines the political and cultural low we find our planet in. Does art practice gain or lose meaning in shitty times?
My work has revolved around The End for some time now. Post-apocalyptic narratives are often fantasies about simplicity: the end of the world is complexity wiped out. A world without politics, a world without administration. Pure desire and despair, Mad Max wandering the desert alone.

The round table discussion will happen around a tablecloth Jaakko has sown together, which will later be elevated into a peace banner. The event is featured by artist Anni Puolakka, who will present a game of deaths and births, following a meditation. There will be candlelight, incense and self-distilled liqueur. RSVP. No future!
