Making of a Puppet

By: AIME Mentoring
  • Summary

  • The Making of a Puppet podcast revolves around two main ideas.


    Firstly, after working with puppets for six years, we have discovered that puppets allow us to explore imaginative realms as human beings. Puppetry gives us the opportunity to express serious ideas through playful means.


    Secondly, we incorporate Indigenous Systems Thinking into our relationships, such as the totem mapping or message stick mapping process. This involves carving messages or stories to build connections. To enhance this process, we have decided to use a puppet as our modern message stick. By making the puppet our constant beacon of light, we take responsibility for it and think intentionally about its significance.


    We explore our guests story through emergent conversation and design a puppet together.

    The Institute’s mission is to explore, research and share new ways of learning and cooperating in order to respond to the needs of the youth and the planet. By encouraging and disseminating a culture, methods and tools for empowerment, it transforms organisations.

  • The Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab
    May 17 2023

    Guests: Dr. Tyson Yunkaporta, Founder , Dr. John Davis, Senior Research Fellow. Joshua Waters, Senior Research Fellow.  Jack Manning Bancroft, Honorary Fellow & CEO and founder of AIME


    This episode we sat down with Tyson, Josh and JD from the Indigenous Systems Knowledge Lab to design a puppet.


    The IKS Lab was established in early 2021 by Dr Tyson Yunkaporta, author of Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World. The IKS Lab is an activist, public-facing think-tank, rooted in a strong evidence base of research. It uses Indigenous Knowledges as a prompt and provocateur for seeing, thinking, and doing things differently.


    It leads with the insight that Indigenous Knowledge carries the patterns, systems, methods and protocols to make regenerative models of production, trade, economics, governance and technology function sustainably at scale. It is a place where Indigenous thinking is applied to the issues that complexity scientists are working on across economics, design, leadership, governance, evolutionary dynamics, environment, cognition and consciousness.

  • Ethic | Johny Mair
    May 17 2023

    Host: Jack Manning Bancroft, CEO and founder of AIME


    Guest: Johny Mair, Co-Founder of Ethic


    For the first ever episode of the Making of a Puppet Podcast we sat down with Johny Mair from Ethic to dive into what we're doing together and see what puppet design emerges from the conversation.


    Ethic's story began in late 2015 when our founders began considering how they might leverage their complementary skill sets—spanning finance, institutional investing, engineering, and design—for maximum social impact. Driven by a desire to help create a world where all investing is sustainable investing, they set about uniting two traditionally separate communities: sustainability and institutional quantitative finance.
