The School for Living Futures

The School for Living Futures is an interdisciplinary, experimental school in Durham, NC dedicated to creating new knowledge and possibility for our climate-changed future. Our mission is to become a hub for programming and projects that combine art, climate work, kinship and community, and that bring together the knowledge of artists, healers, scientists, activists, ancestral wisdom holders, scholars, designers, and storytellers. We aim to counteract climate despair, denial, and inaction, and to empower people with the skills and ideas necessary to become changemakers in their own realms and create living futures for people and the planet.

SfLF was founded in 2022 by Durham natives and sisters Sarah Rose Nordgren and Krista Anne Nordgren.
