On Sunday I join the working group on political strategies. The two dozen people assembled in the courtyard repeatedly return to a big question that begs a satisfactory answer in order to develop viable political strategies for degrowth.

But in the older paintings above us, as in many of these disscussions over the years, what equally stands out is who is not included in the scene and who dominates the decision-making. Women, the poor, those who work on the land or live within forests are mostly invisible, a theme that is raised by a number of the speakers.
