01 The Apocalypse Pantry: A Survivor’s Guide to Happiness in the Urban Armageddon
Co-created with Zayaan Khan, the Apocalypse Pantry is a life-long work in process where we develop strategies to thrive within global poly-crisis. What began as a piece of kinesthetic speculative fiction in which we memoired an imagined post capitalist future, The Apocalypse Pantry became a way for us to pathfind modalities of living that rely less on the systems of oppression that currently mediate the meeting of most human needs. Through embodied experimentation, reviving pre-industrial capitalism skills and exhuming the buried practices of our personal ancestral lineages we have gone from speculating on the future to creating collective learning spaces in the present.

After completing the Tools for Change residency I fell so deep in love with the lathe that I refused to leave so they let me teach their introductory lathe class if I promised to uncuff myself from it. Known as the pottery wheel of the woodshop (by mostly just me) the lathe is a gentle way to get into woodworking. Unlike these saws out here just waiting to chop off your fingers, the lathe is a purring kitty cat that only wants to be pet in the right direction.
