Indy Johar: How we come together to reimagine the world

Join London-based architect and social entrepreneur Indy Johar at The Capitol for an evening exploring how care, community and civic innovation can drive systemic change.

Experience an evening of ideas at The Capitol - RMIT with Indy Johar, reflecting on how we can come together for beneficial change in challenging times, to reimagine the world through care and community enterprise. 

Indy Johar is Co-founder of Dark Matter Labs and a Professor of Practice at RMIT with the Planetary Civics Inquiry. An architect and social entrepreneur, Indy's work focuses on redesigning civic infrastructure to support socially innovative - and systemic - transformation in a climate of change. In this keynote address, Johar will explore how communities can come together for radical change, including with philanthropists and entrepreneurs, to drive long-term change founded in care for ecosystems and regenerative futures.  

Indy Johar will be joined by Berry Liberman, co-founder and Creative Director of Small Giants, and former Editor-in-Chief of Dumbo Feather, for a wide-ranging discussion rethinking our relationship with capital, community and what change can mean for people, places and planet beyond innovation and disruption. 

 

Presented by RMIT University in partnership with the Planetary Civics Inquiry.
