ChangeMakers

Dany is a philosopher and writer whose latest book Summertime documents her experience inside the 2019 Bushfires. Today we talk about her journey and how she has learnt to speak about crisis. We discuss the power she has drawn from bearing witness. Dany identifies strategies for how change makers can walk with crisis, and harness the power of structural story-telling in how they make change.

This is an episode we recorded in 2017 in Moscow, telling the long story behind the broad-based resistance movements that have exploded across Russia in support of Alexis Navaley. These leaders have mixed feelings about Navaley as a figure, but the story shows that even in an authoritarian state - people will stand up for their needs - even when they face threat and intimidation.

Adam Barbanel-Fried and his organisation Changing the Conversation Together did exactly this in the 2020 US Election.
