Creative Director, Founding Co-steward
Sep 2023 — Present
contours of our collective destiny are too often shaped by a limited spectrum of perspectives rooted in Western, settler-colonial worldviews; a widely accepted vision of succumbing to a dystopian narrative preordained by a select few. This project asks: How would you reimagine a desirable climate future in the year 2075? The call for proposals that produced this cohort was an invitation to young people from frontline, BIPOC, queer, and other communities who experience the undue burdens of climate change while simultaneously demonstrating the innovation and resilience required to build new realities. Centering the experiences, knowledge, and alternative ways of knowing of these communities is crucial in shaping our collective understanding of climate futures. By amplifying the voices of frontline communities, we collectively build a more inclusive and equitable vision of the future.
