C.R.A.S.H - A Postcapitalist A-Z

Take part in a free course combining art, activism and permaculture!

We are inviting creative resisters, unemployed workers and art activists to take part in our latest project - C.R.A.S.H: A Postcapitalist A to Z - in London’s financial district in June 2009.

The C.R.A.S.H Course is free two week long (1-14 June) intensive training combining permaculture design, art activist tactics and skills for building radically ecological and deeply democratic communities.

C.R.A.S.H is part of 'Two Degrees' Artsadmin’s festival of art and climate change.

The Farm:Shop in Dalston is an ecosystem in a building. It's worth a visit to just look around, but on Sat 23 July you can get a guided tour with one of their eco-engineer founders. Tickets are £10 and the tour starts at noon.

Encouraged by Greening the North, Paul Gosling with Foreword by Jonathon Porritt and Endnote by Rianne ten Veen.

One of Britain's leading adventurers, Benedict Allen, is to open the Indigenous Perspectives Conference on Monday 12th October. Allen is the author of 11 books, but is probably best known for his TV programmes of exploration and endurance. His first-hand experience of indigenous people in jungle, tundra and desert qualifies him to speak with authority and warmth at this one-day conference at the Pierian Centre.
