We want to take advantage of this opportunity to create momentum and break down silos between climate activists, government, technologists and the creative community to establish new lines of action to build a better world post CRISIS.
This virtual discussion series will spotlight artistic inspiration and successful campaigns for impact. It will unite artists with experts in the subject matter, share important insights and successful campaign methodologies and outline clear ways to support each cause.
This series will tackle the challenges, trends and opportunities affecting climate action, urban sustainability and XR, taking into consideration the rapid changes we face as a society. It will accept that in this uncertainty, there is opportunity to reorient our priorities and outline predictions and suggestions for achieving these goals.
"We have the responsibility to create our future. This is not about sitting back and just by default letting the future happen. This is about a future by design and by intent, by collective intent perhaps even more importantly”
Christiana Figueres

Garage Stories is an emerging media content lab born in a Silicon Valley’s Hacker House in 2017 with the aim to develop the language of new mediums and explore their potential with a human centric approach. Garage Stories has organized labs and workshops around the world; MIT Media Lab, Cannes, Sonar+D, TEDx. www.garagestories.org
