Episode 58 - Felipe Viveros - Survival of the Beautiful
Felipe Viveros is a British-Chilean writer, independent researcher, artist and strategist. His work focuses on the intersection of on-line organizing, digital storytelling, policy and systems change.
He has worked with governments and organisations globally, served as the chair of The Rules, and acted as the European representative of the GNH Centre Bhutan. Felipe is a fellow of Bertha Foundation, a member of the UN Harmony with Nature initiative and a commissioner for the Sacred Headwaters Initiative, always championing epistemic justice, social justice and indigenous people’s rights.
Join Dan and Felipe discuss:
- From living under a dictatorship to learning from intentional and holistic indigenous communities
- Why do we continue to theorise human’s over-consumption when the solution is simple; connection
- Moving beyond the binary and holding various perspectives with compassion
- Culture hacking. Narrative change. Myth. Visions. Metaphors. The power of story and imagination
- The greater awareness of privilege and how it’s built upon other’s oppression
- How supply chains are becoming more transparent and there’s nowhere to hide
- Making reparations and creating new systems in our own neighborhoods.
- Choose Earth. Resourcing and supporting courageous and loving indigenous communities who continue to stand in resistance on the front line
- Change will come. The operating system is outdated. The answer is to build bridges. Not walls
- Deal with uncertainty by building closer connections
