This free virtual event is happening TOMORROW. If you're interested in politics or the arts, or both, you will love...
On Friday we gather to imagine alternative worlds. Not utopian ideals, but a form of escapism that prepares us for the challenges ahead. And while the powerful make compromises at #COP26 we will celebrate the people who are already rehearsing the future... metisarts.co.uk/events/love-…
Our friends at @MetisProjects have credited the projects that inspired their latest theatre show... it's wonderful list. 😍💚💪
"The future is already here - it's just not evenly distributed."
Our most recent show 'Love Letters to a Liveable Future' is part of a long evolution in our work of #ImaginingOtherwise. Here we celebrate the brilliant projects around the world that have inspired our belief in what's possible...

"Rather than seeking to dismantle capitalism from an ideological perspective, instead we imagine the fostering of another purpose, one that isn’t about fearing ‘less’ or seeking ‘more’, but about an abundance of different ways of being and doing."

"The answer to overcoming #impostersyndrome is not to fix individuals but to create an environment that fosters a variety of leadership styles & in which diverse racial, ethnic & gender identities are seen as just as professional as the current model."

I'm going to be in Glasgow for #COP26 for the first week... just because I want to be there, not for doing anything specific. If you're putting something on and feel I could be useful and contribute usefully, then get in touch.
📣 In case you missed it: we're hiring!
We're looking for a Cities & Regions Co-Lead to drive DEAL's engagement with cities and other place-based administrations across the so-called "Global South".
Interested? We'd love to hear from you! doughnuteconomics.org/news/3…

Is the present nothing more than an illusion - a distraction from the real task of creating the future? @sarahljaffe, @ronpurser, John Paetsch debate. @GunesTaylor hosts. iai.tv/video/the-time-of-our…
“Rather than thinking about [curiosity] in terms of individual variation across people, you could also think of it as the variation that exists within individuals, moment to moment.”
