EP15 - Culture as Resistance, Community as Survival with Music Declares Emergency, Daze Aghaji, Diyora Shadijanova, Imogen Malpas & Joycelyn Longdon
This week on How To Make Climate Change Sexy, we’re live from Reclaiming Tomorow: Culture as Resistance, Community as Survival, a panel event hosted in collaboration with Music Declares Emergency and Hothouse Book Club.
Tune in for a powerful live conversation on how art, community, and resistance can shape more just, joyful futures. 🎧🔥
I was joined by four visionary guests who are each reimagining activism through storytelling, technology, politics, and club nights:
Daze Aghaji (Environmental Regeneration Activist & cofounder of Hard Art)
Diyora Shadijanova (Journalist, Comms Officer in Parliament & co-founder of Hothouse Book Club) Imogen Malpas (Environmental Journalist & cofounder of Club Sol) Joycelyn Longdon (Environmental Justice Technologist & author of Natural Connection)
Moderated by me (also a cofounder of Hothouse Bookclub)
Together, we dig into what it means to reclaim imagination and build radical alternatives from joyful resistance to community care, democratic futures to cultural power in the face of rising fascism. There’s dancing, dreaming, righteous rage, and radical hope!
