  • Julia Watson "Survival of the Most Symbiotic"- Live from IMPAKT Festival

    Playing for Team Human today, designer, activist, academic, and author of Lo-Tek Radical Design by Radical Indigenism, Julia Watson.


    Watson discusses how we can respond to climate change by utilizing millennia-old knowledge about how we can live in symbiosis with nature. What are the cultural preconditions required to implement a living bridge and other indigenous technologies? How can western society better create technology through the elements that already exist in our surrounding environment?


    In his opening monologue, Rushkoff explains how progress became associated with colonialism and advocates for us to retrieve circular and advanced mechanisms for human and interspecies flourishing.

  • Sonia Shah "We're Always Strangers, Ourselves" - Live from IMPAKT Festival

    Playing for Team Human today, investigative journalist and author of “The Next Great Migration: The Beauty and Terror of Life on the Move,” Sonia Shah.
