In a conversation form 1989, the educator, and social critic Ivan Illich says:

“There is a generalised sense now that the future we expected does not work and that we are in front of an “epistemic break”: a sudden image-shift in consciousness in which the once unthinkable becomes thinkable… [We are now] searching for a language to speak about the shadow which the future throws… The pressing questions today are: After development, What? What concepts? What symbols? What images?”

CAMP 0 is a residential camping weekend of participatory and collaborative events, discussions, workshops and artworks about culture, change and the limits of global growth. Taking place off-gird and close to the earth in Westley Farm’s 75 acres of ancient woods and limestone grassland, CAMP 0 will bring together artists, cultural workers, social activists, community groups and citizens to explore the ideas, symbols and images of change in an uncertain future.
