Which allowed us to reflect on sustainability, care, ecology, chronodiversity and further action in the near future in the context of Art Residencies. The workshop allowed to break with the standard conference format and unfold from an holistic prespectives further discussions and engagements.

The participants of the session were Miriam La Rosa, Kathryn S. Roberts Rita Vargas, Kari Conte, Taru Elfving, Maria Hirvi-Ijäs, Jaana Eskola, Ki Nurmenniemi, Leena Kela and Irmeli Kokko, and the session was facilitated by Patricia Healy McMeans, Morag Iles, Pau Catà and Angela Serino.
