Planting the Seeds of the Symbiocene - Panel Discussion - A Conversation for a Better Future
Radford Auditorium, Art Gallery of South Australia
This unmissable panel discussion features some of South Australia's most distinguished thinkers, joined by environmental philosopher Professor Glenn Albrecht, to explore how we might transition from the Anthropocene to the Symbiocene.
Introducing the Symbiocene - the next era where human actions, culture, and technology work symbiotically with interconnected life on Earth.
Crossing academic disciplines, this visionary conversation critiques our current omnicrisis and offers a scientifically based, philosophical and technological pathway to a viable future.
The complex symbiotic interconnectedness at the core of all life can be translated into our legal frameworks, economic models, and cultural narratives to actively cultivate a mutually beneficial future for all life on Earth.
