Climate Care 

.

Climate Care Festival is a site-symbiotic public program. The festival invites Floating University association members, artists, thinkers, scientists, activists, designers and the general public to acknowledge that we are situated in relation and in cohabitation with an infrastructural site – a partially contaminated rainwater retention basin serving Tempelhofer Feld – and its many living forms. In 2019, the festival’s first edition explored the complex interplay between ecology, pedagogies and ethics of care and sought to address climate breakdown through a curriculum for urban practice. The second edition, in 2021, critically explored the notion of rewilding as an alternative to the city’s plans to “renaturalise” the basin. The programme questioned both the biological and ethical implications of this intervention at micro and macro levels.

.

For this third edition,Climate Care 2023 continues its engagement with the site of the Floating University by prototyping a more-than-human collective and collaborative approach to the negotiation, care-taking, maintenance and mediation of hybrid urban infrastructures in Berlin and beyond.
