Mobility is one of the major challenges of global ecological transformation
and yet our ideas for innovation seem to be very limited and one-sided – especially when it comes to automobility. In this
transdisciplinary symposium, we will work towards overcoming this dead zone of imagination by prefiguring better worlds, beyond
an autocentered paradigm, for the many flourishing worlds of the future.
How can mobility become
a source of inspiration in a devastated global society that mostly feels it has to or is obligated to move (to work, to the
supermarket, etc.) and tends to forget the joys of doing so voluntarily and as a larger-than human practice?
Evening
lectures, panels and screenings will investigate radical utopias of carfree worlds, the need to devise new safe spaces beyond
the car, the car as a crucial nexus in the consumer-capitalist system and how the arts can take part in this transformation.
International experts and visionaries whose perspectives are almost unknown in the German-speaking sphere will be introduced
to stimulate a dynamic discourse for the radical transformation we need.
This symposium seeks to go beyond mere
critique by combining theory and practice in a novel way.
