»Risk Change is to risk the change. This project is significant for the time we live in, and at the same time, it builds a conceptual framework to re-think, re-structure, re-focus, and re-navigate the fundaments of society. With global geopolitical tensions, the recent mass migration, the COVID-19, the severe and increasing economic inequality, and its colonial legacy, Risk Change becomes fundamental in establishing the vision of a potential and different world. It cuts right through in the way we understand the here and now, asking uncomfortable but crucial questions, making us engage, react, re-think, and hopefully implement the much-needed change for a future to come.«
