Wild Hope: Indy Johar Keynote

How do we create more equitable, caring and regenerative futures?

Portrait of Indy Johar

London-based social entrepreneur, architect, and visionary thinker Indy Johar of Dark Matter Labs presents a keynote address to launch the XXL Research Design Lab at RMIT.

As we enter an age of long and interconnected emergencies, our world grapples with simultaneous challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, pandemics, antibiotic resistance, migration, AI, and human development. What we face is not merely a disruption; it’s a planetary-scale phenomenon. Confronting this demands fresh approaches, innovative alliances and new frameworks. We must all work together to effectively and compassionately face our shared future.

Wild Hope: Conversations for a Planetary Commons, an exhibition calling for a radical shift to ‘planetary thinking’ as vital to the survival of human and non-human life on Earth, at Design Hub Gallery 15 August–30 September. Wild Hope is part of City of Melbourne's Now or Never fesitval.
