Deep dives

Transnormal: Building a Better Paradigm

Transnormal is a concept that envisions a new paradigm and a better world. It aims to go beyond the post-normal times we are currently experiencing, characterized by constant change and disruption. The goal is to map out a new worldview and base values that can form the essence of this new paradigm. The Transnormal Institute, inspired by the work of Zia Sardar, seeks to work with marginalized communities and promote the inclusion of voices that have been unheard. By envisioning unthinkable futures and exploring non-Western and indigenous perspectives, Transnormal aims to navigate uncertain times and create plausible and desirable alternative futures.
