The Think Resilience course is a fascinating journey to understand why and how our civilization cannot continue as it is. Significant changes are coming –either we make the necessary changes and get a chance at a livable future, or we don’t change, and the ongoing catastrophe will unfold to unknown levels. I started the project just before Earth Day 2020. Since January 2021, the project has followed the Think Resilience Course because it offers an excellent overview of our ecological emergency and connects the dots between all the crises unfolding. It also proposes paths to change the course we are on. And resilience at a community level is an essential part of that. In the course, a large part is dedicated to explaining what is happening. Then, the study shows how change can be made, and transformation can happen—taking the time to understand our complex situation profoundly affected my life. I am thrilled to see artists engaged on this transformative path through What’s Next for Earth.
