Imagining Climate Futures: Worldmaking through Community-Based Narrative Storytelling and Climate Fiction
Chris’ project invites U of A and Tucson community members from various backgrounds and abilities to explore issues related to climate change through creative storytelling. Their project focused on econarratology and climate change through facilitated dialogue sessions culminating in a final presentation of storytelling and story circles about climate justice. Participants were encouraged to see themselves as individuals with agency, having a say in shaping our collective futures.
