Our Time on Earth: Celebrating the power of creativity in an era of climate emergency

How do we embrace solidarity and practice radical collaboration for the future prosperity of all species?

Join Professor Henrietta Moore as part of an afternoon of talks and presentations celebrating creativity in an era of climate emergency, with contributions from many of the artists and collaborators featured in Our Time on Earth.

Professor Moore will be speaking on the theme of 'radical collaboration’ in response to the Institute for Global Prosperity's work in the exhibition, entitled,  'Sharing Prosperity'. An interactive gaming experience in collaboration with Studio DVTK.

Prof Moore's session is framed by the question 'how do we embrace solidarity and practice radical collaboration for the future prosperity for all species?’ She will explore IGP's work in this area and then more specifically about the relational economy and the Shared Prosperity interactive game itself.

Hosted by Caroline Till and Kate Franklin and the Barbican, the full symposium will unpack the key themes and ideas explored within Our Time on Earth, examining how the creative industries can help us shift from a human-centred to an Earth-centred mindset. Among the crucial questions our expert panels will face: How could our future societies look and feel if we more deeply respect the natural world and design for all species, not just our own?
