Happy to share that I will be based at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature in Kyoto, Japan, in September - December, as a visiting fellow, working on cross-cultural applicability of future design. Looking forward to connecting with colleagues in Japan and beyond!

Bring it on! ✊ "A new kind of politics is brewing here... The new breed of protesters, walkers, campers, foragers and wild swimmers are at the heart of it all. “We need people to be intertwined with the land like brambles in the bushes.”theguardian.com/commentisfre…

"Environmental sustainability cannot be engineered, either. Like peace, it is a social and political challenge," writes @PSutoris.
