Topic
Story & Narrative
Humans use stories to make sense of the world. When we’re engaged in social change work we come up against collective stories that maintain the status quo. Such stories are used to justify power imbalances, exploitation and destruction. To make positive change we need to intervene narratively: amplifying an alternative world view, bringing hidden characters to light, and holding out a brighter future.
