They shape our understanding of the world and the way we act in it, so stories shape the world itself. The stories we choose to live by everyday weave the cultural narratives which inform the design of the human systems we create and how we organise ourselves on our home planet. Two new films from the collective examine the story of our relationship with nature and the story of how we measure success, asking how we might shift our cultural narratives to “help accelerate the redesign of our now destructive industrial economies”.

Our aim is to be ‘movement generous’, working in a spirit of reciprocity, across diverse issue areas from climate and social justice to new economics and countering hate,” they say. More here
