Overview

Reimagining Transitions considers the large-scale macroshifts that are happening across natural ecosystems as well as human societies and the interplay between the two.

Manipal Academy of Higher Education seeks a new kind of consciousness that does not glorify the past or vilify the present, a consciousness that can engage with uncertainty, paradox, dynamic change on one hand, and also shifting power structures, voices from the margins, relationships with more-than-human worlds, and new dialogues of autonomy and agency. It will enable artists and designers to work with dynamic meaning making, context-sensitive ethics and collective strategies of action towards cultures of resilience.
