Rethinking Our Futures in an Age of Planetary Crisis
About this event
In an age where we seem to be facing an age of multiple and compounding crisis –massive inequality and poverty, climate breakdown, growing authoritarianism, war and genocide– how do we find hope and rethink the possibilities for solidarity, community and better futures? How can we build better cities, make better use of new technologies, and create better media beyond what is offered to us by powerful corporations and short-sighted governments? Four leading contemporary international thinkers will address these questions in conversation.
