I want a Better Catastrophe screening
Advertisement
This is the fourth time we have screened this talk/film/ flowchart and we get something new out of it every time. There is a blurb about it below.
If you want to come it is on Saturday night July 11th at 6.30 Text me on 0417 941 991 so we know how many chairs to put out. Bring snacks to share afterwards.
I Want a Better Catastrophe by environmental activist Andrew Boyd is a deeply philosophical and darkly humorous talk that helps readers navigate climate anxiety and societal collapse. At the heart of the project is an interactive, existential map designed to help readers make sense of their climate grief.
The flowchart physically and digitally maps 330 interconnected decision nodes. It guides you through the harsh realization that some level of climate catastrophe is now unpreventable and helps you explore emotional, spiritual, and strategic responses. Boyd walks you through his personal crisis of hope and introduces philosophies like "compassionate nihilism" and "tragic optimism".
Boyd anchors his flowchart in the lived wisdom of eight diverse thinkers, including grassroots strategist Adrienne Maree Brown, eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, and Indigenous botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer.
Readers largely praise the flowchart for being heartbreakingly real yet surprisingly uplifting. It forces you to look our climate predicament in the eye, but provides the psychological tools to take constructive action
