Ecological transformation is not only about technical or scientific solutions, not only about renewable energy or compostable plastic, not only about sustainable technology or resilient infrastructure.

It is also about change of mindsets, creation of new worldviews, production of myths and stories, deep time vision, care and healing, commons, environmental justice, collective governance and participative citizenship, new relational ontologies with the non-human world.

They are the foundations of a paradigm shift to understand and address human agency in the Anthropocene.

With TheStream we conceive and develop projects that bring about the soft and cultural approach to ecological transformation.

We argue that arts-based thinking and practice can reframe our relationship with the non-human world and contribute productively to responding to the ecological crisis.

Applying ecological philosophy and political ecology principles means:

• Consider the ecological impact as a whole, seeing beyond the climate emergency, with a holistic approach to relating to the environment.

• Integrate complex systems theories and actor-network relations with biophysical agents of the natural ecosystems.

• Focus on social and ecological justice and investigate power relations in environmental projects.

We use innovative, artistic and cultural processes, to:

• Focus on the power of the Arts and creative practice as force of social engagement and transformative experience with communities.

• Transform worldviews and create relational and ecological ontologies through innovative and cultural approaches beyond merely storytelling or raising awareness.
