Art South Africa /  Kai Lossgott |    After the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, artist Kai Lossgott reflects on experimental communal practices, social art projects and effective mobilisation in defiance of disaster fatigue.

“On 12 December 2015, one hundred and ninety-five nations reached a landmark climate agreement on carbon emissions at COP21 in Paris. Attending alongside official negotiations, many of my fellow artists and activists were guests in Paris; from India, Bolivia, South Africa and beyond. We were there to mobilise and monitor dialogue around climate change.”
