No Either–Or: Negotiating Climate & Environment with Many Voices
Presented by
Parich Chinwongmuang & Dominik Gallenberger
What happens when eco-social design meets climate conflict, contested evidence, and voices that cannot easily be reconciled? This hands-on workshop invites participants into environmental cases across Europe, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Southern Africa – from river governance, flood protection, renewable energy and Indigenous rights to conservation, displacement, extraction, debt and unequal climate risk. Through maps, data, policy fragments, images, memories, losses, and affected voices, participants trace missing worlds, braid plural knowledges across time, and use Call-Response-Weave to turn irreconcilable perspectives into dialogue. Instead of designing quick consensus, we ask how action can still become accountable when disagreement, harm, and unresolved tensions remain present.
