Contributing artists are asked to respond to the following with existing work:
Artists are now in charge.
You've been called up into an exclusive think-tank of creative thinkers and charged with designing the world as it will be in the year 2049.
Everyone knows artists can imagine better ideas, futures, solutions and possibilities where most can't envision them. Your job is to make these amazing possibilities and visions come to life.
How will people live? What will their values be? What will the environment look like? What do people do? What will be important? What would have worked?
You are writing the plan and creating the script, the images and the narrative for the future. Building on the past, on the data we have, on those who went before us to be brave enough to envision a different, better world – what will you create? This is not a moment to predict doom and post-apocalyptic ideas. It is a chance to build a better tomorrow, forging possibilities and alternatives, where no one believes there are any.
Provide a 1-3 min work that responds or reflects the theme (we will consider longer if there is a compelling reason to do so)
ROLLING DEADLINE UNTIL 15 SEPTEMBER, 2024
