How to Survive

Essays, visual narratives, and interviews explore practices of care and present possibilities for living differently in a fragile age. Artists and culture bearers consider bonds of love, responsibility, and reciprocity, encouraging consideration of our inherent interdependence with one another, with other creatures, and with the planet itself. This anthology looks at how life, including plant, animal, and human life, can thrive through acts of harmony. In How to Survive women and non-binary voices present ideas of interdependence, place-based knowledge, attentiveness, liberatory imagination, mending, repair, and activism offering visions of hope and adaptation, as well as novel ways of understanding our responsibilities to the planet.Included artists, authors and activists: Brian Adams, Christi Belcourt, Andrea Bowers, The Bureau of Linguistical Reality, Gaye Chan, Julie Decker, Francesca Du Brock, Jaimey Hamilton Faris, Rámavuol Liisa-Rávná / Liisa-Rávná Finbog, Jessie French, Tara Hogue, Intelligent Mischief, Jenny Irene, Erin Ggaadimits Ivalu Gingrich, Laureli Ivanoff, Nadia Jackinsky-Sethi, Mary Mattingly, Amy Meissner, Tish O'Dell, Juliaa O'Malley, Ellie Schmidt, Nandita Sharma, Marie Watt.
