Co-founder of The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination reads a powerful open letter about withdrawing from a political arts festival.

Written in October 2014, the pair decided to take action because one of the festival’s main funders - a bank - invests in the development of oil refineries.

Isa and John have started on a path out of oil culture, towards whatever lies beyond, inspiring many to join their energetic activist efforts. The letter leads to a discussion about the paths and actions we can take to start to leave oil culture behind: how to generate new narratives of survival and collapse that will come to dominate life on this planet in the coming decades.
