Culture and politics in overlapping frames for the future: Multi-dimensional activist organizing and communicating on climate change in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This article examines how climate activist groups in Aotearoa New Zealand organize political action through culturally informed narratives and framing of the future. It identifies four key frames—rebel, reform, rebuild, and ruin—that activists use to envision and mobilize for climate change responses, highlighting how these frames overlap and create "in-between spaces" that reflect diverse and contextual political imaginations. The research emphasizes the central role of Māori cultural values, such as kaitiakitanga (guardianship) and whakapapa (genealogy), in shaping activists' approaches and critiques of colonial legacies within climate politics. By exploring temporalities, culture, and hope, the study reveals how activists negotiate tensions between disruption, policy reform, local system-building, and anticipations of societal collapse, contributing nuanced insights into the interplay of culture and political organizing in climate activism.
