About the Festival

The 2023 edition of Live Ideas, Planet Justice: Are you here for it*?, explores the idea that climate justice is rooted in social justice, anticolonialism, global collaboration, human rights, and the rights of nature to thrive. An antidote to the doom and gloom of the climate crisis, the festival offers five days of art and action with performances, interactive installations, workshops, an outdoor festival, symposium, and more. It is co-curated with Slow Factory, a nonprofit organization working at the intersection of climate justice and human rights for collective liberation by changing narratives, systems, and culture.
