Radical re-imaginations of the future | Cross-Community Gathering
Details
An online gathering co-organized by Design Reparations, Inclusive Design Jam, Humanitarian Designers, Design Changemakers and UX for Change.
This is limited spots event, and it is participatory. If you anticipate you won't be in the conditions to fully participate please don't sign up.
With the rise of anti-rights politics, plans of militarization and the degradation of our ecosystems, we are all feeling the grief and the exhaustion of disappointment, in our common commitment towards social justice, dignity and regeneration.
While these feelings are important and we need to acknowledge them, we believe that hope is a practice and that no future will ever exist if we are not going to imagine it together.
Let’s get together for a collective exercise of radical, ecological, reciprocal, trans-national, and just co-imagination.
This is the second edition of this gathering which took place the first time on the 19th of February. This session will have the same format at another time to be accessible people in other timezones. You can have a look at the collective output of that session.
What to Expect
During this event, we will explore collective creativity to imagine, visualize and materialize worlds where:
- - Colonial, economical, and social structures are dismantled
- - Indigenous knowledge is recognized as equal
- - All forms of life are respected and upheld
- - Land is restored and given back to their ancestral custodian
- - Relationships are repaired and healed through dialogue and global solidarity
- - Innovation and progress are measured by intergenerational and inter-species wellbeing
"It always seems impossible until it's done."
- Nelson Mandela
Accessibility
We will offer closed captions, a live transcript, and multiple modes of participation (for instance, chat, live discussion, small group conversation, etc).
Privacy & care
This session will be recorded only for the organizing team to review. If you wish to participate anonymously, you can turn your camera off, remove your display picture, and/or anonymize your name. If you don't anticipate to fully participate please do not sign up, this is not a listening-in kind of event.
To create a safe and inclusive space, all participants must abide by our community agreements, which will be shared at the start of the gathering.
