Climate Child Imaginaries

RMIT Design Hub Gallery Building 100, Victoria Street, Carlton, Melbourne

Today's youth face the unprecedented existential threat of climate change. The groundbreaking book, "Posthuman Research Playspaces: Climate Child Imaginaries," co-authored by Dr. David Rousell and Professor Amy Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles, explores how children perceive climate change. Drawn from extensive research with Australian children, the book showcases a picture of how children's insights and imaginings can inform our understandings of climate change and its impacts on our current and future lives. The launch includes a panel discussion with intergenerational voices, discussing childhood, education and climate justice. The event is part of the "Wild Hope" exhibition at Design Hub Gallery, urging a shift towards community-led responses to the climate crisis through creativity and imagination. This event is part of Wild Hope: Conversations for a Planetary Commons.
