Regen is partnering with art.earth Books on a new publication, On a day like today we just need to look forward... a call for creative voices to help reimagine our relationship with energy.
This international, independent collection will explore how culture, creativity and critical thinking can help us understand energy in new ways, beyond the technical and towards the emotional, political and poetic.
We’re looking for contributions that bring rigour, imagination and openness. Submissions might be visual, text-based, speculative or research-led. They might come from artists, engineers, community organisers, philosophers or policy thinkers. The key is a shared willingness to explore the role of energy in society, climate and the living world.
Ten years ago, Regen, art.earth and Schumacher College hosted the landmark Feeding the Insatiable symposium. It brought together urgent and inspiring voices exploring the intersections of creativity and energy.
A decade later, the world has shifted, in climate, culture and technology. But many of the same tensions remain. Fossil fuel use is peaking, but emissions fall far too slowly. Electrification is booming, but so is demand. Science is stronger than ever, but denial is louder too.
This new book aims to hold space for a different kind of conversation: experimental, reflective, challenging and generous. We want to surface ideas and images that help us see energy differently, and imagine better futures.
The call for submissions is now open. We welcome proposals from across disciplines and backgrounds, including collaborative projects.
You’ll need to outline your idea in no more than 400 words and tell us a little about yourself.
The book will be edited by Dr Richard Povall (art.earth Books) and Chloë Uden (Regen and the Art & Energy Collective), with associate editors to be announced.
It will be published by art.earth Books, an independent imprint supported by contributors and partners. All input is unpaid and all profits from book sales go towards future publications.
