Possible Futures

Abstract

The regeneration of the Global South is the regeneration of our beautiful planet. Recognising the immense transformation required to reach this aspiration, we remember that evolution is the death of the obsolete and the birth of the new. We acknowledge the critically flawed philosophies, arguments and institutional frameworks that define recent human history: fragmentation by modernity, sanitised reductionism of mechanistic thought, dominating exploitation of entrenched inequality. Standing at the precipice of civilisational collapse, we see and make visible the forces set in motion by hegemonic powers past and present-these run deep, strong undercurrents throughout our globalised capitalist human systems, today and tomorrow. Our ability to dance with complexity and chaos, even if awkwardly at first, underscores the emergent experimentation desperately needed to find new routes to our possible futures. A pluriverse already exists and awaits us, where restored and newly fostered ecosystems co-evolve with our freshly reinvigorated humanity.
