Transitions US is “an ecosystem of communities building a regenerative and just future!”
Their R4 Practicum starts March 21, 2022. It works through and with the themes of Resist, Repair, Reimagine, and Regenerate, to come together in co-creation of an intercultural and intergenerational network of regenerative communities working together to design, adapt, and share the messages, models, and resources needed to reimagine and rebuild our world.
Regeneration Nation is a 3 year project that will focus on nurturing a network ecosystem of regenerative communities actively sharing and co-creating the messages, models, and resources needed to reimagine and rebuild our world.
Part of the vision of Transition US is “to have every community in the United States engage its collective creativity to unleash an extraordinary and historic transition to a future beyond fossil fuels; a future that is more vibrant, abundant and resilient; one that is ultimately preferable to the present”.
“To make that vision a reality we need artists and culture workers. Artists challenge cultural narratives, shift imagery, and inspire emotions in a way that traditional political methods alone simply cannot.”
In Change the Culture, Change the World, artist Favianna Rodriguez said “You may attend a rally or vote, but you also read books, listen to music, engage with visual art, turn on the radio and create your identity through culture. Artists are central, not peripheral, to social change. To have the movements that make the wave, you need cultural workers.”
“Artists are represented here on the side of ideas, in the “heart space.” Art is uniquely positioned to move people—inspiring them, inciting new questions and provoking curiosity or outrage.”
