IN CONVERSATION — Dismantling, Disrupting, and Deprogramming

How can culture, communications, and creativity help challenge the systems and stories that sustain extraction and injustice? This conversation examines how cultural narratives, media strategies, and creative interventions can disrupt dominant climate narratives, dismantle harmful systems, and unlearn extractive ways of thinking. Through bold ideas and grounded examples, speakers will explore how to shift public imagination, strengthen collective agency, and mobilize action toward a just, regenerative future for people and planet.
