Helsinki | Trans Europe Halles Rebuilding to Last gathering
As the Rebuilding to Last project is coming to an end, Trans Europe Halles (TEH) is organising a gathering in Helsinki, Finland, from 1 to 2 October 2024 to present the project learnings and to collectively reflect upon the findings. The event will bring together inspiring thinkers and practitioners who will inspire us all to revisit our relationship with nature.
Climate change accelerated by human action seems to show that the world is spinning out of control. But perhaps this is not entirely true. What if the problem is just the opposite, namely that humans want to control too much? Why not try to imagine a new coexistence between humans and with non-humans, starting from what escapes us, from what we usually exclude or abandon?
TEH will also take the opportunity to present ‘Rebuilding to Last Book’, a four-dimensional publication that combines an in-depth examination of expertise of independent cultural centres in ecological renovations with a hands-on manual for cultural workers on how to make their spaces and communities more in consonance with climate change and in balance with ecosystems they are part of.
