TALKING ANIMALS 01

Join us for our first ever TALKING ANIMALS gathering, a container for climate collusion and radical reimagination.  We aim to hold a monthly space for people with true commitment towards climate, for people who care about real shit to connect and build. You’re invited into collaboration with us as we manifest this space. How This Will Look: * Casual Intros from the Group
 * Brief Topic Previews & Guided Discussions
 * An Overview of Degrowth with Kweku Oats 
 * The History of Geoengineering, Multimedia Collage & Fossil Fuel Abolition with Andres Chang
 * Crashing the Climate Crimes Convention with Teddy Ogborn * Open Floor for Anyone to Share 
 * Unstructured Time to Vibe and Reflect
 We will have vegan snacks and non-alcoholic beverages for you :) RSVP soon to secure a spot, and if you have the capacity, we’re asking for donations in the $5 - $10 range to support our organizing efforts. Why We Want To Do This: Hello! We’re Kaixi & Dion, co-founders of TALKING ANIMALS, a collective of creatives, engineers, and environmental scientists radically collaborating to transmute this century’s instability into a solarpunk future. We’ve spent the last 2.5 years trying to reconcile capitalism and climate activism with our firm, ENTITY design studio, while making art and alliances along the way across 6 continents (and counting).  Since our recent moves to NYC, we have become friends with many folks who have spoken to an overwhelming need for more radical spaces. We believe that good things happen when the right people + pieces come together. We’re at a point where it’s really now or never. We’re excited for you to join us to share climate grievances and work in solidarity towards dismantling and rebuilding systems that radically change our trajectory - one from interconnected disaster to interconnected thriving for all <3 Also a big thank you to Verci, the physical space and creative community, for hosting us. This will be Volume II of Verci’s weekly Monday Circles. Host your own Circle: https://vercihq.notion.site/Host-a-Monday-Circle-27873776073b4ad7bd87e11507a3cea5?pvs=4
