FROM PANDEMONIUM TO ECOTOPIA
Feverish World: Arts and Sciences of Collective Survival was a symposium and arts festival that took place in October, 2018, at the University of Vermont and in the city of Burlington, Vermont.

FeverishWorld: From Pandemonium to Ecotopia will be an ongoing multi-media effort to help catalyze a shift from fear-based to empathic and compassionate responses to the feverish times ahead.
FeverishWorld is premised on an acceptance that industrially-triggered climate change and accompanying social, economic, and ecological “pandemonium” will characterize the decades ahead.
We believe that traversing those decades will require creativity, moral courage, cultural flexibility, and a sense of human solidarity and ecological fellowship to guide our action forward.
We call the goal “ecotopia,” an ecological place, while recognizing that its attainment will be negotiated among the diverse inhabitants of the many places making up our world(s).
On April 22, 2070, we will look back to see where we have arrived.
