Future Knowledge
'Thousands of years of human culture can continue to flourish only if we can learn to live in balance with the biosphere.' - Michael Pawlyn of Exploration Architecture
Bringing together artworks, prototypes and projects by artists, designers and thinkers from a wide range of different disciplines, Future Knowledge offers a fascinating and diverse range of creative responses to environmental concerns.
In particular, the exhibition asks: how might artistic inquiry and creative ecological design generate new perspectives on climate change? Visit Future Knowledge before it closes on 28 October.
Upcoming EventsThroughout Future Knowledge we’ll be joined by pioneering figures to discuss how art and design can help us tackle some of today's most pressing environmental issues. This includes our talk this evening Imagining Future Knowledge, featuring social philosopher Roman Krzanic, Michael Pawlyn from Exploration Architecture and Alison Tickell, CEO of environmental arts organisation Julie’s Bicycle.
