VOICES FROM ROOM – What Hatred Helps Us Face

In this podcast, I speak with Aneta and Isaac, the two presenters of the ROOM Podcast, about my recent work on the intersection of psychological and political dimensions of cultural and environmental crisis. Relating to the work of Sue Grand and Josh Cohen, I show where our hatred for the abuse of our climate, and our complicity in that abuse, stems from a love for our world, each other, and our potential environmental future. Far from being a dead-end, I outline where and how hatred might galvanise us to take agency in our climate crisis, together.

“This collective holding of hatred points toward what a psychopolitical praxis might look like. It’s not about managing or suppressing these difficult emotions but about creating containers strong enough to hold them while they transform.” — Anastasios Gaitanidis, “On Hatred,” ROOM 2.25
