The symposium invited transdisciplinary speakers to present their individual research on specific themes related to human sustainability including climate and capitalism, de-growth and environmental imperialism and raise questions including how can we begin to enact radical care on an immediate, local and global level to repair colonial exploitations? Who does the green transition exploit? What are the limits to degrowth? Performances will be splintered throughout the programme to create pockets of non-didactic reflection to champion art as an equally valuable form of knowledge transmission.
