more than human worlds
The climate crisis poses a threat to the habitability of the Earth, and has prompted a rethink of the perspectives, networks, and interactions of human and non-human actors. How do we humans perceive our co-world? What is our relationship with the Earth, other creatures, and things? What values underpin our actions and social coexistence? In our quest for a shared future and alternative forms of coexistence, inspiration comes from local perspectives, actions, and ideas.
