The SpaceShip Earth - Episode 21 - James Turner - Glimpse

In this episode I chat with James Turner Co-founder of Glimpse. Glimpse tap into a growing network of creative talent to create culture hacks and creative interventions that reimagine a beautiful future beyond mindless consumption, where nature flourishes and people are nice to each other. They are behind a load of genius activations including crowdfunding an entire London Underground Station's advertising space with posters of Cats, creating the first retail store where you purchase urgent items for refugees, and most recently getting birdsong into the UK music charts to raise awareness of the urgent decline in bird species in the UK. Today they are a creative studio who work with NGO's, charities and purposeful organisations who want to imagine a more beautiful world as well as developing their own activations and projects. We explore James' journey to Glimpse via his background as a broadcast journalist then as Comms Director for Greenpeace UK, about shifting creative energy and talent away from consumption culture towards more regenerative narratives and stories in our culture. The challenges we're facing right now with climate and ecological breakdown and massive social inequalities and the urgent need for more creative energy, talent and skills to step up and get involved. We also talk quite a bit about salad and birds. Enjoy!
