LIVE | How culture makes climate irresistible, with Daze Aghaji
Q: Do we, as the climate movement, need to start thinking more about democracy and our space in bigger movements?
I think this is the thing that I find sometimes a bit challenging with the climate movement, because we're so focused on the end of the world that we don't realize that people are actually going through very evident things now.

Q: How has those earlier days where you were in what maybe some people view as more radical, changed in the way that now you're engaging with this issue?
I feel like everyone probably who's worked in the sector has had that moment of where they go, or I could either decide not to, or I have to.
