- Thursday 25 September
In this panel, we explore how meaningful alternatives often don’t arise from grand designs, but from the messy, brave work of letting go, stumbling forward, and creating new paths in plural and diverse spaces.
Together with our speakers, we’ll dive into different places where breakdown has become a source of breakthrough: dismantling fossil fuel infrastructures through exnovation, finding hope in personal and collective recovery, discovering utopian openings in criminalised cultural spaces, and breaking up with capitalism’s empty promises of sustainability.
Rather than handing out blueprints, we invite you into a conversation that asks:
Why do we hold on to systems that are hurting us? What can addiction recovery teach us about social transformation? How do marginalised communities already practice the alternatives we seek?
Join us for an honest, thought-provoking conversation about the courage to embrace uncertainty, the strength found in what’s been broken, and the radical hope that can grow when we finally let go of what never truly served us.
