- New alliances
Climate Care is a festival engaged with theory and practice at the intersection of climate challenges, ethics of care and environmental humanities. Emerging from weathering the conditions of its site - a rainwater retention basin in Berlin- the program is a result of in-depth cohabitation with the constructed water infrastructure, its human culture and its multispecies overlays.
This non-natural-natural site is diverse, complex and evocative, and acting as it’s custodians brings many questions the festival likes to address: How to hold space for the complexity of our moment? How to seek, create and implement planetary alliances on this singular site?

Climate Care happens on the site of the Floating University, a rainwater retention basin that serves Berlin’s former Tempelhof airfield and its adjacent avenues. Image: Lena Giovanazzi

Here, a variety of animals, plants and algae have taken root and given birth to a unique landscape: a man-made environment reclaimed by nature where polluted water coexists with our relatively new presence. Image: Lena Giovanazzi

In Climate Care, architects, artists, scientists and activists are invited to propose learning modules that encourage embodied and tacit knowledge to emerge from experiences on site. Image: Lena Giovanazzi

Climate Care calls for the re-evaluation of aesthetic awareness and a revision of the ways in which we shape our lives through interaction, consumption, work, and rest. Image: Lena Giovanazzi

From compost making, experimenting with bio-materials, constructing urban hives, weather writing or “tuning-in” methods, reading aloud and looking at care on a planetary dimension, Climate Care develops tools to work beyond crisis. Image: Lena Giovanazzi
