I'm Gregg the Artivist — a storyteller and activist using art to cut through noise, challenge broken systems, and reconnect us to what matters. Dive into videos, essays, and ideas that explore how we move from collapse to connection — together.
Here, I write about climate collapse, climate anxiety, personal grief, and the quieter truths behind global systems — because sometimes, the most urgent change begins within.
Imagination: There was a time when people looked to the future with wonder. Not fear, not dread — but wild possibility. We don’t need imagination to look back to the late 40s, 50s, 60s — and those old retro-futurist visions. Flying cars. Undersea cities. High-speed trains...
There’s something deeply wrong with the world, and a growing number of us can feel it in our bodies. Maybe it shows up as restlessness. Numbness. Guilt. A sudden wave of dread reading yet another headline. Or the quiet panic that nothing you do will ever be enough. These are not symptoms...
The Beauty of Not Knowing What Comes Next I don’t have a five-year plan. I’m not even sure what next month looks like. Embracing Uncertainty: For a long time, that terrified me. I thought clarity meant safety. That if I just worked hard enough, built a strong enough platform, or crafted...
We often imagine collapse as something loud — sirens, floods, fire. But what if it’s not? What if it’s quieter than that? Closer? Already here? I used to think collapse would be obvious. That I’d see it on the news, or hear it in the streets. That there would be a moment when everyone...
These are my signature episodes — deeper stories that connect the climate crisis to politics, people, and emotion. From Trump and climate collapse to the lithium dilemma in Serbia, these videos explore how power and systems affect our shared future.
In this video, we explore what a second Trump term might mean for his potential anti-environmental / climate actions, based on his first term with guest Dario Fazzi...
In this video, I delve into the controversial history of mining giant Rio Tinto. I look at their proposed lithium mining plans in Serbia’s Jadar Valley...
Join me as I discover the Age of Climate Anxiety with Dr. Susan Clayton, world leading authority on the psychological impacts of the Climate Crisis. When we think about...
Designing for Climate Change. My visit to “It’s Our F***ing Backyard’ at the Stedelijk Museum Amstedam It’s Our F***ing Backyard: Designing...
So What is Climate Change? What is Global Warming? And what basic science should be all know about the Climate Crisis 2022
Whether you're organizing a panel, building a community project, or just want to share ideas — I’d love to hear from you. I collaborate with educators, artists, communities, and changemakers around the world. Let’s create something that matters.
Get in TouchAs NATO celebrated its 75th anniversary, we see more tanks, more pledges, more war games—yet less space to question any of it. A critical reflection series.
Imagination: There was a time when people looked to the future with wonder. Not fear, not dread — but wild possibility. We don’t need imagination to look back to the late 40s, 50s, 60s — and those old retro-futurist visions. Flying cars. Undersea cities. High-speed trains...
A Call to Imagining Peace, Before It’s Too Late Peace – so this is where we land. After 9 videos questioning NATO’s contradictions, militarised security, and the erosion of public voice—this final video turns toward something deeper. What if security meant care, not control? What if...
The Future We’re Sleepwalking Into Dystopia – Its not hard for Humans to imagine. Yet sometimes the hardest truth is the simplest one: if we keep heading in the direction we’re going, we already know how it ends. More weapons. More fear. More money pulled from schools, hospitals...
When Foreign Policy Leaves the People Behind Democracy: Right now, millions of people across the world are demanding justice in Palestine—marching, writing to governments, calling for a ceasefire. But despite overwhelming public pressure, most leaders remain silent. It’s a familiar...
There’s something deeply wrong with the world, and a growing number of us can feel it in our bodies. Maybe it shows up as restlessness. Numbness. Guilt. A sudden wave of dread reading yet another headline. Or the quiet panic that nothing you do will ever be enough. These are not symptoms...
NATO’s Strategy of Quiet Expansion and the Stories Left Out NATO hasn’t launched a high-profile military intervention in recent years. But that doesn’t mean it’s inactive. From massive troop deployments across Eastern Europe to coordinated arms transfers and war games near active front...
Climate Security or Climate Hypocrisy? NATO’s Military Emissions Gap The Climate of Conflict: NATO and its member states increasingly frame climate change as a “security threat.” But ironically, the military itself is one of the world’s largest institutional polluters—and its emissions...
5% for Weapons? Rethinking NATO’s Cost of Militarised Spending Priorities In 2024, NATO members agreed to a bold new target: 5% of GDP for defence by 2035. That includes 3.5% for core military spending and 1.5% for related infrastructure, cyber defence, and intelligence systems. It’s a...
Who Gets Protected? While NATO emphasises protecting and “defending people,” its track record shows a pattern of selective intervention—often aligned with geopolitical interests, not human rights. Civilian casualties in Afghanistan, airstrikes in Libya, and refugee displacement in...
The Language of Peace… or Power? Words shape worldview. NATO’s public messaging increasingly leans on militarised language: “deterrence,” “forward posture,” “hard power.” But peace built on fear, threat, or show of force isn’t peace—it’s a stand-off. If military language dominates our...
