Alexie and I will host the discussion and collective workshop to develop our ability to move beyond the immediate and enable future generations to benefit from deeper, long-term thinking.

We’ll be taking inspiration from Ella Saltmarsh and The Long Time Project and grounding the group in meditation to start the session.

I’ve been contemplating what Hopeful Activism means and reading and listening to many great thinkers and writers, which I look forward to sharing on the 21st.

I used to roam around my dad’s wood workshop in West Yorkshire, terrorising his colleagues and making wooden sculptures. I’d accompany him to the demolition sites of the old mills of Manchester and Leeds that were being pulled down; everything within the mills was meant to be burnt, however, he’d salvage wood, bobbins, and cast iron objects and use the materials to make floors and furniture out of the reclaimed timber and other items. The idea that you could make something out of nothing interested me.

I work with developers, designers, and other creatives to create stand-out visual identities, websites, and marketing.
