1.5 Degrees of Concern is an international collaboration that embraces conversations between three women living on separate continents during global climate crises. The stories represent a dissolving past, an urgent present, and a speculative future. Examining the layered transmissions and abandoned traces, we invite you to consider possibilities for an alternative utopian future and first steps to building it.
