Rekindling Radical Imagination. Regenerative Activism 2022.

Regenerative Activism Talk with Jessica Horn, Rob Hopkins, Jay Jordan & Isa Frémeaux

One of the biggest achievements of neoliberalism has been its colonisation of the imagination with its impoverished sense of human potential. In attempting to reduce us to homo-economicus, it circumscribed our capacity to imagine a world in which we can thrive together and eroded confidence in our ability to build cultures of compassion and care. Are we still beguiled by the spell of ‘no alternative’?

Haunted by the historic failures of the Left, surrounded by movement fragmentation and lack of convincing strategies, we can find ourselves struggling to find deep transformative responses to the interlinked crises we face today or retreating into ever smaller subcultural spaces and enclaves.

We will explore:
* Can we rekindle a radical imagination?
* Can we begin to imagine a world beyond capitalism, injustice and collapse in which we can truly flourish?
* And how could we do this without resurrecting the anthropocentric progress myths that have underpinned the ecological disasters we face today? What does this involve?
