HOPE HEADS
our ongoing series spotlighting artists, activists, makers, and doers who are reimagining what the future could feel like.
Through three simple questions, they share where hope lives in their world, their work, and what’s giving them reason to keep going.
From menders to musicians, each response is a window into the small, meaningful acts that point toward a better future and the people brave enough to keep creating it.

“Hope is believing that there is a better way, deciding to make it true. Believing there is a way through; it starts with every tiny action we choose to take.”
- Syreeta Challinger, Hope Heads 007

“Hope looks like humanity in action. Protesting, creating, and standing for truth, justice, fairness, kindness and equality — even in the face of hate and noise.”
— Gavin Strange, Hope Heads 006

“Hope begins when we choose how to act, rather than waiting for change to arrive.”
For Dr Camilla Pang, hope lives in agency - in tuning into discomfort, questioning the status quo, and using anger as fuel to build better systems and kinder connections.
004 / Sha'an d'Anthes aka furry little peach
“Hope is the knowledge that things can change for the better… a vehicle to change.”
For Furry Little Peach, hope lives in connection – in building community both online and IRL, and in seeing people transform the world’s ugliness into something softer, more beautiful, or more actionable.
