We live in a world full of comment boxes, surveys, and five-star ratings. We’re asked for our input constantly—but does anyone really hear it?
This session explores how feedback has become a ritual of participation without power, and what it would take to make it meaningful again. From neighborhood meetings to app reviews, we’ll unpack the gap between being asked and being heard. Together, we’ll imagine small but powerful ways to repair how feedback works in our communities, institutions, and everyday systems.
