From time to time, a voice emerges that helps us see the world differently. Not by offering easy answers, but by inviting us to pause, listen, and reconsider the stories we tell about change, progress, and our place within the living world.

For many people working at the edges of climate action, social innovation, new economic thinking, and cultural transformation, Dr. Báyò Akómoláfé has become one of those voices. His work is poetic, provocative, and deeply grounding. Rather than urging us to move faster or work harder to fix the world, Báyò asks a more unsettling and generative question: What if the transformations we seek require us to ‘slow down’, and learn anew from a world migrating from the conveniences of systemic legibility?

On May 13, we have a rare opportunity to gather at the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) for an evening of reflection and conversation with Báyò as we explore what it might mean to navigate this moment of planetary transition with humility, imagination, and care.
