Rosi Braidotti and Shay Kreuger explore how music has been used to articulate our desires and emotions on the way to the apocalypse. With special guest Extinction Rebellion.
From David Bowie to Prince, and Billie Eilish to Doe Maar: the end of the world has been sung for decades already. Rosi Braidotti and Shay Kreuger continue their series of talks on how music allows us to express our desires and perceptions of the world and help us come to face with our fears. The end of the world (or ’the apocalypse’) is no exception. If the world does have to end, then let's at least go down dancing.
Joining their conversation is the international activist movement Extinction Rebellion who voice their deep concerns for the climate and ecological crisis, and fight for a livable and just planet.
