[Themaintainers] Festival of Maintenance returns: online, Sat October 8th

[Laura James]

Hi everyone!

The Festival of Maintenance returns in 2022. This year, we’ll be
approaching maintenance with the same broad lines of inquiry - maintaining
buildings, truth, media, communities and hope.

Join us on Saturday 8th October to hear from maintainers far and wide.
Tickets are £10 or pay what you can <https://maintain.community/>. All
welcome!

We have three broad themes:

Maintaining hope: Creating kinship and bringing people together

In a time of crisis, how can imagination and hope to create kinship between
human and more-than-human worlds?

Phoebe Tickell - Founder and Director, Moral Imaginations

Liz Slade - Unitarian Church



Maintenance and stewarding change: Planning for/mitigating climate change,
land, architecture and the public realm

Climate emergency, an ageing population and the high cost of heating homes
are all problems requiring radical solutions. But what happens when these
solutions seem impossible to achieve? How can we use maintenance practices
to change and adapt to these new conditions?

Hana Loftus, HAT Projects

Paulina Kolata, Researcher, Japanese Buddhist temples and material culture

Sam Siva, Land in Our Names



Information Maintenance : nurturing truth and narrative through the web

The internet is our source of information and archive, but it is
increasingly clear that truth and narrative require vigilant investment
maintenance. How can we maintain the truth, and tell the story of how we
got there?

James Higgot, NHS Covid Hub

Andy Dudfield, Full Fact

You are welcome to join us for a day of fascinating presentations,
questions and discussion, 10am to 4pm BST. Tickets are on sale now - £10 or
pay what you can <https://maintain.community/>.


As ever we are interested in learning about the breadth and depth of
maintenance activities - across tech, governance, ecology, architecture and
the public realm. This will be our third festival - you can access
recordings of our previous talks on our youtube channel
