An Incomplete Atlas of Regeneration attempts to map out possible escape routes from the parallel crises accompanying the end of Holocene and the beginning of Anthropocene. A great many formerly self-evident terms, values and supports that propped up our lives are now transforming or even collapsing. We are simultaneously the originators, the witnesses, the perpetrators and the victims of radical and accelerating changes which bring new problems, ones connected to the exploitation of the biosphere and the loss of biodiversity, the destabilization of the climate, the global economy’s dependence on fossil fuels and economic growth, the penetration of digital platforms into all spheres of life and its omnipresent soft manipulation, the crisis of subjectivity and crisis of shared values. Pointed productivism and the compulsion towards discipline, exploitation and efficiency have brought us to the brink of personal, social, and planetary exhaustion. There emerges a need to find new formulations of solutions to these new problems. We believe that searching for adequate forms of regeneration, renewal and rest must become one of the most important axes of political life in the 21st century. If fatigue is not followed by rest and regeneration, the result is the irreversible, drastic transition into a different state; in other words: a collapse.
