Buckminster Fuller championed a broad array of ideas to help us better understand and change the world. This series of events will engage these ideas and their practitioners to share, nurture, and develop this unique and urgent learning and doing mission to "make the world work for 100 percent of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone" as Bucky so famously put it.
Topics will range from the conceptual, scientific, and philosophical to nuts-and-bolts applications to arts and culture.
"Comprehensivity" is a word Buckminster Fuller used in a number of
writings in the 1960s and 1970s. In a series of essays and video explorations, CJ Fearnley has developed the concept into a Bucky-inspired
synthesis. Comprehensivity can be described as the quality of
comprehensive thinking that aspires to be "adequately macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive" by combining all we know in breadth for context and all we know in depth for clarity to improve our effectiveness in understanding and changing the world.
We invite everyone with a interest in learning about and participating
in this work to join us in forming a collaborative community to nourish
and support this important work and its practitioners.
The series will feature presentations by and interviews with
Bucky-inspired practitioners, aficionados, and artists. Some events
will explore works of Bucky, those inspired by or building on Bucky,
or with the same spirit as Bucky.
Please join us.
