Ecotopias: Systems and Narratives for Uncertain Futures
Ecotopias: Systems and Narratives for Uncertain Futures
10 past 12 Theater Freibug
July, 2023
Along the Climate-Social Emergency there is a crisis of imagination. The pursuit for sustainable practices is often guided by the aim to extend and greenwash Western current lifestyles, but what if we were to conceive new lifestyles and narratives based on a plural notion of planetary solidarity?
Which communities and landscapes sustain our current lifestyles? Why is the struggle against climate change shown as separate from the struggle to decolonize our systems? Who is leading the discourse on climate change? Which new systems and narratives do we need? Why are some lives privileged on behalf of others?
During Ecotopias: Systems and Narratives for Uncertain Futures we examined the narratives that sustain today’s systems and how their double standards fail today’s needs. Then we hosted a think tank to re-think criteria, standards and narratives for common and plural futures.
