+### Marine ecosystems and climate fiction from South Asia - Episode 3 | 06/04/2024
+{{ :events:2024_climate_change_fiction_webinars:climate_fiction_talks_poster_designs_ep_3.jpg?nolink&200|}} Accelerated anthropogenic climate change poses a serious existential threat to dwellers in the marine world, besides the fisherfolk and inhabitants of coastal areas. The melting of land ice in Antarctica and Greenland, leading to rise of ocean levels, besides the deleterious effects of acidification on marine ecosystems, may soon reach a tipping point if adequate mitigation is not undertaken soon.
+In this episode, writers and activists from South Asia shared their creative responses to this ongoing crisis, which may eventually lead to biosphere collapse if such trends are not reversed.

+### Antecedents to climate change fiction: Utopian and speculative narratives from South Asia - Episode 2 | 28/02/2024
+{{ :events:2024_climate_change_fiction_webinars:climate_fiction_talks_poster_designs_ep_2.jpg?nolink&200|}}
+In this session, we focussed on conceptual and narrative antecedents to contemporary climate change fiction in the region. The focus was thus on the archive of imaginative responses to the alienation of humans from nature in the wake of the introduction of the colonial and post colonial development paradigms.
+Utopian, visionary and speculative narratives from South Asia have sought to engage with consequent environmental degradation and the ecological crisis in different ways. The panelists tracked the possibility of critique and sought to trace the genealogies for the recent turn to climate change fiction in South Asia.

+### Climate Change Fiction: The South Asia Experience - Episode 1 | 17/01/2024
+{{ :events:2024_climate_change_fiction_webinars:climate_fiction_talks_poster_designs.jpg?nolink&200|}}
+The climate crisis is the greatest existential threat humanity faces today. The need for a radical societal transformation in the interests of social justice and ecological sustainability has never been greater. But where can we turn to find systemic alternatives?
+In this interaction between authors, scholars and activists, we hope to critically explore the reasons for South Asia being foregrounded as a zone for climate catastrophe in recent Western cli-fi (Kim Stanley Robinson, Ministry of the Future, Stephen Markley, The Deluge), as well as discover more about the extent to which this sub-genre has found roots in this region.

+### We, - Nosotrxs- Crossing Worlds and Galaxies  - 13/06/2023
+{{ :events:2023-we.jpg?nolink&200|}}
+The diversity of women and the -others- that we are, remind us of the existence of the pluriverse, that is, the multiplicity of worlds that coexist in the world. The pluriverse makes us see that–contrary to what cis-hereto-patriarchal modernity led us to believe– the world is made up of many gender-sex diversities, worldviews, many worlds and galaxies, as expressed by the Zapatista grammar and struggle. It is from this alter, anti, pluri, and trans* diversity that we invite you to listen to our situated and emotional reflections on what happens to us when we cross borders, bridge spaces, and weave tapestries as women on the verge, racialized, trans* lesbofeminists, academics, mothers, activists or defenders of Mother Earth in these times of civilizational collapse.

+{{ :events:gta_in_rec_2023.jpg?nolink&200|}}
+Thousands of grounded initiatives across the world are demonstrating pathways out of the multiple crises we are in - ecological, economic, social. What can we learn from their historical, practical and theoretical contributions? How can they be interconnected to enable macro-change, and what sustainable, equitable futures can we envision based on them? This presentation provides glimpses of answers to these questions, with examples from across the globe.

-Lyla June (Diné/Tsétsêhéstâhese) will discuss native food systems in pre-Columbian times. Through her doctoral work she has seen that a common denominator in these systems is the strategy of habitat expansion. Whether it's burning grasslands to maintain habitat for deer, buffalo, antelope, etc, or building intertidal rock walls to catch sediment for clam habitat, native people have a knack for building a home for their food in reciprocal relationships. Through this maintenance of the home of edible plants and animals, whom we see as relatives, our food can come to us through consensual and respectful relationship.
+The presentation of the philosophy and work of “Beautiful Resistance” as a beautiful and creative, non-armed way to build peace within individuals to be peace builders and active change makers within their own community and the world.

-### Strategies Beyond Borders: Tales of Time Banks- 27/01/2023
-{{ :events:strategies_beyond_borders_tales_of_time_banks-3.png?300|}}
-This interactive session will engage participants in a presentation, experiential activity and discussion about the social/economic/political organizing format often referred to as “time banking”. The purpose of this is to recognize that everyone has contributions to make and needs to fulfill. As opposed to the capitalist model of competition, extraction and exploitation, these projects draw on the strength of community to affirm the worth and value of each individual. In this session, students who have participated in “mini” time banks in classroom settings will share what they thought of this idea before and after experiencing it in practice. In small groups, attendees will have the opportunity to consider what they have to “offer” and what they “need”.

 Is it possible to imagine a world without money? Anitra Nelson, in her recent book, “Beyond Money: A Post Capitalist Strategy”, not only envisions that world but also gives it concrete shape, laying the ideological foundation of a post-money society based on real, non-monetary, social and ecological values that define a new order committed to fulfilling people’s basic needs. If money is the lynchpin of the contemporary capitalist order then it is imperative that an alternative to that world is imagined and crafted outside the constraints of money. In a two part series of webinars, Anitra Nelson is joined by David Barkin, a Mexican economist, and Meenakshi Gupta, an Indian social entrepreneur to discuss how money could be replaced as the organizing principle of society allowing the fabrication of a world without socio-economic inequality and crippling environmental stresses.
