Remembering, as we reconnect with our innate wisdom, and reimagining, as we challenge dominant thoughts and beliefs, all in pursuit of a more just and regenerative future.

Participants were invited to submit their work in two categories:
Category 1: Writing – The call welcomed a range of submissions including essays, narrative journalism, experimental non-fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, lyric essays and personal essays.
Category 2: Artwork – The call welcomed submissions of visual art, photo essays, videos, auditory pieces or multimedia artwork suitable for digital display. Accepted formats included illustration, photography, video, sculpture, paintings, collages, and music or sound.
Each entry addressed key prompts such as: What does regeneration mean to you? What does it look, feel, and sound like for all life to flourish together? These ideas guided the incredible variety of work we received.
