anattynook | how to look up - an invitation to unlearn, reconstruct and imagine the future @anattynook | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
coming up with a title for this video was really difficult and I spent countless weeks agonising over how to present these ideas to you all but here it is!!!

I hope this video is able to give some food for thought, and most importantly of all, encourage you to take on this project of imagination in your own lives. I am far from being a perfect example of whatever I advocate for in this video, but I am always thankful to be able to share my ideas with an audience that cares for the same things as I do. Okay, enough rambling, please enjoy the video and let me know what you think in the comments below :)
