Culture, Deep Narratives and… Whacamole

Summary

An exhausted campaigner’s case for going deeper. Ruth Taylor asks “what causes the moles to keep popping up”, and finds it in deep narratives, embedded by repetition and spanning many causes. Because “Everything we do has an effect on the culture, on the soil”, she urges designing work for its cultural footprint, and alliances that create “a new game altogether”.

Rationale

Ruth went on to steward Getting Deep, and her idea of a cultural footprint runs through it: everything we do is “both expressed from and expressing deep dispositions”.
