Manifesto 9

We’d like to move between and beyond worlds of art, so we can address each other and a larger public

1. This is a historic moment, yet people are trying to be normal
2. Let’s envision what we want and transform vision into action
3. We will assert our right to slow down – taking time for individual and collective wellbeing and the wellbeing of the planet
4. We will transform our systems of living, working, extracting, consuming, ravaging, destroying, avoiding, denying
5. We will strive to ensure that everyone – as well as our environment – is cared for and valued, and that we move towards a more equal and just society
6. We want to act collectively, welcoming everyone’s strengths, skills and perspectives
7. Or just…

Binge!
      Consume!
             Avoid!
                     Deny!
                             Extract!

Manifesto 8

1. We are a part of nature.
2. We need to connect with soil, seasons, place, culture and history.
3. We long for everyone to feel deeply connected to the natural world within their local and our global environment.
4. We believe everybody should be able to live well and happy lives – sustainably.
5. We need to find new ways to engage more widely – recognising that many people don’t have the time, emotional space or energy to engage.
6. We need shared enabling spaces to listen to the stories and voices we haven’t heard yet.
7. We need to enrich our ways of communicating to include the language of pictures and of the heart.
8. Everyone should be able to have meaningful input to decisions which are about how they live their lives.
9. We need to talk about consumption and what makes us happy.

Manifesto 7

1. We demand that all humans, all species should be valued and provided nurturing in order that they can thrive, including access to safe and green spaces, clean air and water.
2. We demand a society that does not pit the welfare of individual humans and the welfare of planetary ecosystems against each other and require a shift from a scarcity model to one of reciprocity.
3. We demand prioritisation of the wellbeing and sustainability of workers and communities. This requires an end to narratives of constant growth and a re-evaluation of what our goals as individuals and societies can be.
4. We demand global truth and reconciliation councils and opportunities to educate ourselves in order to repair our history of extractivism of people and planet.
5. We demand a world where creative led and community focused initiatives are the drivers for change.
6. We demand investment in safe green travel solutions.
7. We demand investment in education which highlights the need to live within the planetary boundaries.
8. We acknowledge neither borders between nations nor between species.
