DESCRIPTION:Please join us for consideration and discussion of the creative activism 
 that surrounded COP21, the recent UN Climate Conference in Paris that met 
 in December 2015. Activists and collectives responded to the elitism of the 
 talks with unauthorized coordinated efforts to challenge the 
 corporate-dominated climate negotiations. Participants aimed to bring 
 attention the economic framework of climate governance, specifically 
 neoliberalism, which has offered only failed proposals for how to address 
 the current environmental crisis. \n\nClimate Games, organized by the 
 France-based Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination, promoted creative 
 civil disobedience as part of a longterm strategy to democratize 
 environmental governance, insist on a just transition to a postcarbon 
 future, and develop alternatives outside the automatic assumptions of 
 capitalist hegemony. What are the lessons of COP21 activism, and where does 
 it leave us today both globally and locally? \n\nnote on graphic:
