Description
Summary:This research project investigates highly individuated preparatory activity, or prepping, through a practice-led research methodology which is articulated through three frameworks identified from commonalities found in prepping’s often highly disparate activities.

Namely, those attempting to secure already precarious lives in a world of constantly unfolding and speculative crises.
