Panel Discussion, Elevate Festival, 2014 [1]
In this panel conversation the various topical threads of Elevate's discourse programme will be brought together. Starting with an analysis of the current situation, tangible paths into a solidary future will be discussed. Representatives of different perspectives will talk about the required socio-ecological change, the possible makeup of future societies, and the necessary steps to create them.
Amy Goodman [2] is concerned with the role of the media in social transformation, Nafeez Ahmed [3] has a comprehensive understanding of the various crises, Felix Stalder focuses on the implications and ambivalence of new technologies, Friederike Habermann [4] speaks from the perspective of social movements and Silke Helfrich [5] will represent the idea of the commons as an alternative model for the organization of society. The panel will address questions such as: Where can we start? What are the challenges and how can we meet them? Which forward-looking projects and movements can we become a part of?
Moderation: Josef Obermoser (Crossroads, FORUM STADTPARK)
