The path to sustainable futures is one that overcomes polarization, not just about the climate crisis and solutions to it, but all manner of things. We can’t change systems to work for people and the planet if we’re deeply divided and fighting about the most basic issues.
Our guest believes, and shows, that art and effective communication are key to overcoming divides, that they offer a path to empathy, and that if we can laugh together and cry together, we can work together.
But neither art nor communication is intrinsically powerful. They are only powerful in the context of our audience, and the relationship we build with them. So today’s themes are diversity, listening, actually hearing people, and building relationships.
Maia joins as well virtually due to a case of covid at the time!
