I can't live in a teeny, weeny hut!

"Rosa Luxemburg and I" enacts a pedagogic process of critical consciousness upon the anthropogenic self to release radical imaginations, emotional resources and political agency for climate revolution.

My research demonstrates that the daily rituals of repression and oppression which foster and maintain climate inaction, as administrated through the mechanisms of both political economy and social norms, can be penetrated by performance, poetics and praxis, liberating the self into new ways of being and perceiving, and of human and earth-centred care.
