6 - 6.45 PM. PANEL TALK. What the hell just happened?
Participants: Blackwater Polytechnic, Ben Coode-Adams and others (UK)
The Blackwater Polytechnic poses a question that truly suits our times: What the hell just happened? In a year that has felt like a decade, artists and collectives have watched the ground shift beneath their feet—socially, politically, and environmentally. The assumptions we carried into Supermarket 2025 already seem antique, like artefacts from another reality. From Blackwater’s corner of coastal Essex, we have seen how making, organising, and imagining have evolved in response: collaboration has become survival; improvisation, a way of thinking. This talk will trace those changes—how our ideas, communities, and art practices have been recalibrated by the shockwaves of a world still reconfiguring itself. Tell us about your experience and share strategies for resilience, organisationally and personally.
