Dani Admiss appointed as FutureEverything’s first Nature Director

Acting for Nature, Dani Admiss brings ecological care, artistic insight, and sharp, future-focused governance to FutureEverything’s Board

FutureEverything has undertaken a profound and carefully considered shift in how we work, make decisions, and understand our responsibilities to the more-than-human world, by appointing Nature to our Board of directors. 

Our intention is to contribute to the systems and behavioural change needed to address the ecological crisis, by exploring the practical and imaginative possibilities of what it means to give Nature a say, and by bringing this vision to re-frame the role of technology in society.

Since committing to bring Nature into the heart of governance, we have been laying the foundations for a new ‘Nature Directed’ organisational model. This journey has involved extensive internal work including amending our constitution, embedding new protocols and practices across the organisation, and designing a governance structure in which Nature holds a recognised, decision-making role with influence across strategic planning, programming and everyday business operations. 

To ensure this commitment is meaningful and accountable, we have appointed a human proxy – a Nature Director – who will act in service of Nature’s interests on the Board and help us iterate our experimental new model so that we increasingly re-embed ourselves within the Web of Life, as kin and collaborators. 

We are delighted to announce that Dani Admiss will take on this responsibility from December 2025, bringing to the Board her deeply engaged practices at the intersection of art, ecology and eco-social justice, and practical insights into governance structures and organisational methodologies.

Dr. Dani Admiss is a creative climate leader and artist–curator whose work explores how to live well with others within ecological limits. Her practice draws on community-based learning and collective inquiry, shaped by an MSc in Climate Change Management from the University of Edinburgh, which grounds her work in scientific understanding and professional sustainability expertise.

She collaborates with activists, growers, caregivers and technologists to address the social and environmental dimensions of the climate emergency. Together they have created immersive game-environments that expose data extraction, co-designed a decarbonisation plan for art workers, traced industrial water pollution, drafted a Bill of More-Than-Human Rights, and established an alternative ethics conservation committee.

Dani currently leads Sunlight Liberation Network (SLN), an art and climate justice network supporting peer learning and imaginative action to reshape extractive systems, holds a PhD in Curatorial Practice and World-Making, and sits on the editorial board of  Digital Materialities and Sustainable Futures.

Dani will play a central role in FutureEverything’s Board as an Advocate for Nature, bringing forward nature-related matters and helping FutureEverything move beyond representational models of Nature-led governance toward genuine, active participation with the more-than-human. 

Drawing on a practice rooted in usefulness and generosity, Dani will support the evolution of ourprotocols and practices, ensuring that the work remains clear and grounded. Working closely with the team, she will assess how and when the organisation comes into contact with Nature, and help us understand the real material impacts – both positive and negative – of our decisions, systems, and activities.

We’re excited to formally welcome Dani (and Nature) onto our Board, and look forward to the ways their presence will shape our decisions, culture, and impact in the years ahead. This marks a significant step in FutureEverything’s journey toward embedding ecological responsibility at every level of our organisation.

 

The Nature Director is a rotating position; in accordance with our Articles, a new appointment will be made every 18 months.

Dani Admiss, says

“I’m honoured to join the board in this inaugural role representing Nature. FutureEverything’s commitment to thoughtful, relational accountability across art, the environment, and technology is a key reason I’m delighted to contribute to its work. The organisation’s vision recognises that creativity flourishes when we attend to the more-than-human world, and I’m excited to help deepen that ecological way of thinking at the heart of its practice.

Nature Directed offers a dynamic and necessary invitation to evolve—bringing ecological perspectives into every strand of FutureEverything’s decision-making. I look forward to contributing my experience in social art practice, climate justice, and climate change management: convening people to creatively (un)learn, collaborate, and navigate complexity together. My hope is to support the organisation in co-evolving its operations—creatively, ethically, and sustainably—through an ongoing ecological unfolding turning ecological justice into lived practice.”
