Feel To Act Project 2025 - Preliminary Report

This is a wild report. It traverses three continents of engaged discovery. What have we found? Communities can embody vision-led innovation to uncover solutions to the local challenges in their city.

Why did we do this? Because we had to. And maybe—just maybe—we think you’ll want to, too.

Here’s the biggest thing we learned: Humans can communicate complex ideas about innovative solutions to local problems using just their bodies.

Wait, what? Sounds wild, right? But think about it: nod your head up and down—yes. Shake it side to side—no. Shrug your shoulders—I don’t know. That’s embodied communication. It’s not just a quirk of human behavior; it’s a survival skill.

Imagine this: You’re stranded in the Sahara, where desertification is advancing at an alarming rate (insert stat). After three days of unbearable heat, your mouth is too dry to speak. Half an acre away, you witness a traveler with two jugs of water sloshing on her caravan. How do you convey your desperate need?

Your current state—dehydrated, desperate—and your desired outcome—water, survival—would drive your actions. This is how humans have always communicated. Think of a baby: they instinctively suck their tongue, stretch their fingers, and, finally, cry out for food. In that order. The earliest human actions were instinctive, embodied expressions of need and intention. Before words, there was movement—translinguistic, intuitive, and deeply effective.

So, hold loosely what you think you know about human capabilities. As Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson wrote, “The biggest uncertainty in climate projections, the wild card, is what humans will do." We are the wildcard.

As such, this is a wild report. It traverses three continents of engaged discovery. What have we found? Communities can embody vision-led innovation to uncover solutions to the local challenges in their city.

It’s time to explore how we can feel—not just think—our way to solutions. Deep breath, now let’s dive in.

FEEL TO ACT PROJECT 2025

A social capacity building initiative combing data, ancestral wisdom, and storytelling. 

First, this arts intervention starts with the Igbo Landing of 1803—a powerful example of collective wisdom, cultural memory and community resilience. This story depicts how artistic & cultural processes shape quantum cognition, inspire behavioral action, and strengthen civic identity toward regenerative futures.

Seed Inspiration

75 Igbo people chained together forced aboard.

CIVIC IDENTITY

Seized control of the ship and docked it.
