the understorey is a space for thinking beneath the surface, and reflecting on wisdom and ideas for systems change. take a walk through our work on feminist approaches to governing artificial intelligence, the power dynamics shaping our relationship to outer space, the webs of solidarity that connect movements across borders, and the quiet, subversive work of those building something different from the ground up.
