In ecology when external conditions become hostile, organisms gain a higher chance of survival in refugia. In isolation, they can reorganise their biological process to increase in numbers or strength until the disturbance abates. They must evolve to survive to gain a possible future. The risk of failure is extinction.

In our increasingly climate-change impacted future, we at the Centre for Reworlding question;

• What are the conversations that we aren’t having now that might aid us, our loved ones and our future ancestors?

• What are the skills and knowledges at the thresholds of being forever lost, overlooked or undervalued that our future generations may need for survival?

• How can speculative fiction decouple maladaptive nihilistic and fundamentalist thinking in the climate emergency?

• And, what are we willing to give up and/or fight for in the greatest challenge facing humanity?

Where do we begin? What are we willing to fight for? How will we reorganise?
