A very east London kind of utopia

Participants will dream boldly, designing speculative blueprints for east London’s cultural future considering the role of new policies, collaborative models, and creative infrastructure.

This session will encourage participants to write and verbalise responses to story prompt cards as a tool for stimulating critical thinking and generating novel ideas, offering an opportunity to explore individual perspectives on art as resistance.

Whether challenging personal assumptions or collectively ideating on a nourishing creative environment, this session invites participants to discuss modern notions of utopia, explorative provocations about the here and now and shared values.  

This event is for anyone living, working or studying in east London, aged 18+, emerging to established within the creative sector.

As part of the Ideas Exchange series of interactive talks, this event will be documented through film, photography and live artist interpretation.
