Weirding Sustainability
In this two-day event series, we explore the potential for weirding sustainability; going beyond conventional discourses that reproduce business-as-usual, to ask: What does global weirding mean for us as researchers and creative practitioners? How might a weirding of our own imaginations and practices spark more radical and meaningful change?
