338) Vanessa Andreotti: Allowing Earth to dream through us

Green Dreamer: Seeding change towards collective healing, sustainability, regeneration

What might it mean for humanity to reach a level of maturation to be able to confront the multilayered crises we now face—calling upon us to “grow up and show up” for ourselves and our planet? And how might recognizing the broader contexts that each of our generations were raised in help us to have more empathy when navigating our differences?

She is a professor and Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities, and Global Change at the University of British Columbia, and she is one of the founders of the "Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Arts/Research Collective" and part of the coordination team of the "Last Warning" campaign.
