Melon #3 — Meals for the Final 72 Hours: Living and Eating through Ongoing Collapse

In a time of extreme politics, escalating conflicts, climate crises, and systemic risks, many governments are encouraging their citizens to stockpile food, water, batteries and survival kits for 72 hours. But what happens after the first seventy-two hours? “Meals for the Final 72 Hours” moves through “eatable” weeds, wetlands, rivers, military rations and food sovereignty, exploring how people continue to live and eat through conditions of ongoing collapse. It presents how artists, researchers and practitioners think beyond stockpiling and survival skills to transform the preparedness into a form of everyday resilience cultivated through ecological and political awareness, collective practices and the cultivation of relationships with our environment.
