Archivorum is very pleased to announce our initiative in collaboration with TEDx Countdown.

From the 16th to the 18th of October, Archivorum will launch TEDx Archivorum, a circle of virtual events where international guests will join the Global Countdown to fight climate change together!

Countdown is an attempt to bring together anyone who wants to better understand or do something about the single biggest crisis we face: climate change. Despite the pandemic’s harmful economic and social effects, our climate crisis has not lost its urgency. It is our obligation to engage on a path that does not bring us back to "normal" ("normal" is what got us here in the first place) but that projects us towards something "better”. Please join us on this incredible three-day journey towards a sustainable future!

Countdown will be launched on the 10th October 2020: a 5-hour, free livestream on YouTube which will feature talks, interviews, animations, performances and more.
Alongside the main event, Archivorum has worked on crafting a TEDx Archivorum circle that will allow everyone take part in a world of discussion and encounters, bringing together different groups to investigate how we can act, both individually and collectively.
“The broader the mix the wider the impact”!

On the 16th of October we will begin with our first TEDx Archivorum circle, in collaboration with the poetry imprint Fivehundred places. There will be two 45-minutes sessions featuring:

- CAConrad, one of the greatest poetic minds of our century. CAConrad over the past decades has developed a practice called (soma)tic ritual and ecopoetics.
- Jorge Pardo, a Cuban American artist and sculptor. Pardo's oeuvre explores the historical intersections of fine art, architecture and design to create a highly individual body of work.

Please get involved directly or indirectly with our TEDx Archivorum initiative and let us know about potential solutions, local projects and community efforts that you personally fight for every day or are aware of.
