What can we do to lay the foundations for a horizontal World Anthropocene Manifesto that brings together local words ? How can we form the basis of a living commitment of all ages ? How to initiate a world conversation ? How to mobilize a network and feed collective imagination ? How to question the possible ?

“We have entered the anthropocene. We are anthropocene. We are the earthly community. We are living together the climate change, the ocean acidification, the sea level rise, the species extinction, the pandemics, the famines, the soil pollution, the fires spread, the migrations, the floods, the droughts, the generalized urbanization, the social inequalities... The list is infinite. We no longer control our effects. Everything around us is shifting. And whether we like it or not, we are newly exploring our own lives and environments."

Different people answered to our questions and discussed from their close environments, their daily practices, their lives. They presented what makes them angry or happy about the anthropocene. They developped what are their tools and ideas to change the situation. Alone, they seemed anecdotal, but together they articulate, feed and spread.

This talk is about the feedback of January 29, 2021 performance toward a collective World Manifesto facing up the Anthropocene.
