20S X Atmos | Keynote: Bayo Akomolafe

The ecological crisis is only a symptom of a deeper spiritual disconnect, one that must be mended to heal the whole. What can we learn from nature about the processes of decay and renewal? What must be decomposed in order for our species to mend its relationship with the Earth? In this keynote conversation bridging the spiritual and ecological, we will hear from Atmos editor-in-chief Willow Defebaugh and philosopher, writer, and founder of The Emergence Network Bayo Akomolafe, as they invite us into a deeper understanding about the transmutations and murmurations our world is faced with today. - Twenty Summers is an incubator for art and ideas. It imagines a more equitable and sustainable future, twenty summers from today. The organization was founded in Provincetown's historic Hawthorne Barn, and we honor its legacy of artistic freedom by providing resources, residencies, and a platform for original projects and innovative ideas. We believe that, in the right context, creative minds can find solutions to our hardest problems. https://www.20summers.org
