Moment #1. The Good Ancestor exhibition: I began by opening an exhibition on future generations — a powerful reminder of our duty to be good ancestors.🇪🇺 Through art and culture, we are called to imagine and build a world that is fairer, more sustainable, and more inclusive for
Great to have this exhibition on display in Europe. The projects showcased are from all around the globe and the effort to assemble it was truly international. As @brianeno/@dark_shark and #BetteA put it: "art makes feelings happen". This is vital if we are to be #goodancestors.
Today, on the European Day for Solidarity Between Generations, we are reminded of those generations that don't yet have a seat at the table. We joined together in a series of powerful moments: ➡️Opening of the UN exhibition “Good ancestors” on future generations at the

Thinking of @Maintain_hive & @The_Maintainers during Danah Abdulla's #RSD11 keynote this morning. #designovertime #maintenance #righttorepair
“A repair culture requires design of the conditions to enable it, for example training people how to repair from an early age.” 💯🛠 Danah Abdulla on the contradictions of sustainability and designing over time @RSDSymposium #RSD11
The #FestivalofMaintenance by @Maintain_hive is back for 02022. maintain.community Saturday 8th October, all online, follow the link for more information. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from around the world.
An excellent #openspace #unconference at @ChathamHouse around the "How can we enable humanity and the planet to thrive together in the long term?" with a good scattering of familiar faces alongside fascinating new voices. Thanks to @CH_Accelerator & @improbable1 for hosting.
Our annual day of #chalkingthehorse with @NTSouthWest will be on Tuesday 30th August 02022. meetup.com/longnowlondon/… It will be good to be back on the hill with hammer in hand. @nationaltrust
This @TheAtlantic piece about experiments by @CharlesCockell and several others does a good job of mentioning many of the maintenance and futureproofing questions that come up regularly for us. theatlantic.com/science/archiv… #maintenance
Went down an enjoyable link trail over Zoom coffee with @cparreno14 last week. Started with @tomgauld's "Two Rocks Converse" from 2010. longnow.org/ideas/02010/08… (providing the @longnow link because Mr Gauld's original tweet linked to a since-rotted Flickr address)

Great to see @StewartBrandDoc on the big screen last night. Thanks @MaximHarper for the invitation and to the team at @stripepress for hosting. The excellent conversations afterwards made me think I might have another go at using Twitter more. Probably not though.
If you could ask the UK public 3 questions in a poll, what would they be? (I've bought these from the brilliant @JoeTwyman at the excellent @DeltapollUK ) - Erm, becuase twitter polls are not real polls, right...
