Rebecca Solnit & Astra Taylor - Remake the World

Program Title: Rebecca Solnit & Astra Taylor - Remake the World
Description: While we are regaled with images of Mars, back here on Earth our planet and its people are in distress. The eco-crisis continues unabated. There are wars and the threats of wars. And, of course, the coronavirus. The pandemic has not only taken millions of lives it has revealed in graphic terms the acute inequalities between the haves and the have nots. Rapacious capitalism preys on insecurity. It creates a class of vulnerable people who are easily exploited. To secure a brighter, more equitable and just future a radical transformation of our economy and society is required. As Astra Taylor warns us, we either “shift course or race off the cliff, taking” the future “down with us.”
