Rewilding Imagination: How Art & Technology Can Reconnect Us to Nature | Shammi Raj Balla | TEDxABBS

Shammi invites us to rewild both our landscapes and our minds, using art, technology, and storytelling to rediscover awe and responsibility toward Earth. Through immersive visuals, real-time interaction, and nature-based digital storytelling, the talk demonstrates how creativity can inspire climate action beyond statistics. The core message is clear: we protect what we feel connected to, and imagination is the bridge. Designed for youth, educators, and change-makers, this talk offers fresh ways to see sustainability as a lived and co-created reality. Join the journey to reimagine our relationship with nature and spark action rooted in wonder, not fear. #RewildImagination #ClimateAction #NatureAndTech #SustainabilityMatters #ArtForChange #FutureWeChoose #TechAndArt Shammi Raj Balla is the founder of Sensistan, India’s first immersive Technology & Art Museum in Goa, which integrates art, science, and technology to create sensory experiences.
