JUST FOR TODAY

“Make everything that you need for yourself and attempt to not need what you cannot make, that is the ending view that we never arrive at”

Raymond Duncan interviewed by Orson Welles (1955)

120 years ago, Raymond Duncan, advocating self-sufficiency and autonomy, developed a philosophy known as “actionalism”, which connects the body, labor and craft in the direction of personal development, togetherness and well-being. The first Public Moment of PLANT, “Just for Today”, intented to cultivate new cultural ecologies as a framework for contemporary creation. In a three-days event, professionals and practitioners from and beyond the arts were invited to dispersed micro-actions and offered the time and space to question our ways of perceiving, communicating, cohabiting and imagining.
