Climate Changes Everything: Provocations for Creative and Constructive Dialogue on the Climate Crisis

In this seminal, hybrid gathering of academics, artists and activists, we present the Climate Changes Everything PROVOCATION! card deck as a tool for generating discussion and collaborative manifesto writing around the climate crisis, both in and out of the classroom. After leading conference participants in a manifesto sprint, we will report on the findings and outputs of this session and lay the groundwork for continuing future conversations focused on communicating climate hope and instigating a revolution of values. Inspired by Bruno Latour’s “Compositionist Manifesto,” we seek to position the manifesto “not as a war cry… but rather as a warning” that it is not too late to change direction, define and declare our principles, and take urgent action (Latour, 2010).
