Finding a long-term perspective

Acting in the interests of the long term will involve a radical change in the short term.

It will involve questioning the norm and doing things very differently.

• Arts and culture can connect us with previous moments of change to make the radical seem more tangible.
• Arts and culture can remind us that radical change has happened in the past and inspire us and remind us of the values and behaviours needed to make change happen. For example, 12 Years a Slave tells about civil rights.
• Arts and culture can help us challenge the status quo and expose us to multiple possible futures.
