Our bodies, our houses, our land, our space --- we humans don’t always like to share. Author Bette Adriaanse talks with Chelsea T. Hicks, and virtual guests Brian Eno, Margaret Levi, and Aqui Thami, about property, sharing, and how to make a lasting positive change in the way we share the world with each other. Alternating between thinkers and doers whose approaches are helping to foster long term equality, this evening explores the choices that can be made to share time and resources with others in radical ways.
Bette Adriaanse is a writer and co-founder of TRQSE, an international network of artists and scientists working together on social issues.
