Seapunk Imagination Symposium [BKKCAW2026]: Imagination, Climate Action, and Ecoarchic Institutions

About this event

​Why and how does imagination matter for climate action? ​In this Symposium, hosted by Seapunk Studios, we explore the intersections and theories of change linking imagination, narrative change, and climate action, drawing from two years of Seapunk experiments and learnings, and especially the current RIVERBANKS comic climate fiction exhibition at BKKCAW 2026. ​Topics will include: - ​Imagination as the 'climate of the mind' - Imagination as a 'climate-action climate action' - ​Co-imagination and worldbuilding as praxis - ​Ontology, deontology, institutions: the process of RIVERBANKS worldbuilding - ​2026-era comic production: visual communication, media culture, and the democratization of imagination of storytelling ​We will also dive into and discuss key themes from the RIVERBANKS exhibition including: - ​Ecoarchy - ​Planetary governance - ​The Gross Deliciousness Index - ​... and more!
