Hand out accompanying the same named exhibition in Bureau Europa, Maastricht (NL, March 26 - Aug. 14, 2022), connecting the imagination of the end of times in art, design, architecture, and science to visions, dreams, and speculations about how we can properly prepare for them. According to guest curator Ward Janssen, "even though we can consider doomsday preppers and survivalists as loners, we can also wonder whether the phenomenon doesn't bespeak a certain optimism and utopism instead. After all, a world destroyed by war, pandemics, and climate change will have to be redesigned one day. How can we make sure that we will do it right next time?" With works and stories by artists, architects, designers, and scientists.
