Civilization and the belief of a future is crumbling, destined for collapse
Desire to survive and Desire for meaning will be how people cope
The roots of these crises are in the myths and stories we have shaped society/civilization around, progress, human centrality, and our separation from nature.

Everything will not be fine. Stop being delusional. Humanity is in denial about the the crisis of our future.

Humans are not the point and purpose of the planet. Art will be used as a means to step outside human bubble of civilization and reengages with the nonhuman world.
Celebrate writing and art grounded in a sense of place and time
Will not loose ourselves in elaboration of theories and ideologies,
While it is the end of the world as we know it, it is not the end of the world fully- we will find hope beyond hope, going along the unknown path of ther world ahead.
