⚡️We’ll be joined by Austin Wade Smith, Executive Director of Regen Foundation and co-founder of River Computer, for a session on ecological institutions, digital sovereignty, and the governance of living systems.
Austin’s work asks how our legal, financial, digital, and governance systems might better account for the agency of the more-than-human world. They will introduce why rivers, watersheds, and bioregions are becoming key sites for rebuilding governance in the face of ecological crisis and institutional breakdown.
Expect a rich discussion on ecological governance, digital sovereignty, regenerative infrastructure, and different approaches to the rights of nature.
