Critical Signals is a collective endeavour for creative resilience - a gathering place for people who believe communities can shape their own futures.
A bridge between the practical and the visionary: This space brings together artists, researchers, technologists, and communities to ask what changes we could make to our societies, infrastructure, food, and energy systems to ensure we survive disruption and potentially thrive through it.
Together we gather, learn, and act in community: We come together in person, combining arts, tech, politics, and shared meals in public-facing spaces where hopes and fears can be spoken honestly and turned into action. Resources are sought and stewarded to create opportunities for people to connect, learn, wonder, and respond. With community at the centre, this work grows a resilient, self-supporting Aotearoa and contributes meaningfully to possible futures of the wider world.
