In This Place 2023 season's theme, “Wait, what’s going on?'' is designed to help us to remember the work, determination and social imagination required to bring the issues of our society’s most dishonored contributors into the forefront of the media, demanding their due respect. We believe that such willpower and creativity is required as we usher in a new wave of thought and culture with restorative economics at the center of these imaginings.

Our February theme “Wait, are we trash?” is about examining the ways the sanitation workers strike of 1968 can inspire us to radically imagine our future as respectful stewards of the Earth and friends of humankind. We want to talk about the humanitarian issue that wasteful consumption has become and to explore ways reconnecting with the lifestyles of our ancestors can guide us toward community conscious and personally fulfilling futures.
