An opportunity for creative responses to the book
The final page of Looking for Tomorrow offers an invitation for participation from the reader:
You are warmly invited to make your own artwork inspired by one or more of the seven chapters or “lessons” discussed in Looking for Tomorrow. Your work could take the form of a photograph (or group of photographs), a drawing, a painting, a sculpture, a poem, a story, a musical composition, a dance—whatever you like. Express some of your feelings and thoughts as a citizen of this planet, perhaps using your own local landscape.
If you would like, upload a file showing your work, together with an optional caption and explanation here. And even if you don’t participate, check out the gallery to see the art made by the community of this book’s readers.
Summarized briefly, these are the seven skills—each key to a sustainable future—that Looking for Tomorrow draws from modern art:
1. Grasping the condition of climate change, with sympathy and solidarity
2. Thinking biocentrically (dislodging people from the center of all our stories and ideas
3. Cultivating justice and joy in difficult times
4. Relinquishing the myth that society is separate from nature
5. Sensing our place in the long history of Earth
6. Finding exaltation in the ordinary
7. Tuning in to the intelligence of other species
