Event overview
Culture for Good
Let us transport you from Mauritania to Indonesia via paint, sweat, pixels and words…
An anonymous pirate radio DJ in Nairobi. Electro-modern remixes in Costa Rica. Slum kids with cameras in Argentina. AI for female empowerment in Pakistan. Life-transforming performance from Bradford to Brazil. Hip hop and politics. Blind photographers. Crayons and big ideas.
Atlas of the Future’s online storytelling project #CultureFutures is mapping creative and cultural projects with a social mission.
Over the last year, we’ve been digging deep into the joyful world of virtual reality, comic book artists, filmmakers, photographers, illustrators, curators and collectives who help build a better, and more imaginative, world – in all its technicoloured glory.
Meet the creators fighting for a better future:
British artist Marcus Lyon uses portraiture, oral histories, multi-layered exploration and DNA analysis to reveal the beauty and diversity of identities in Brazil, Germany and Detroit.
Liz Corbin created Materiom to collectively open source recipes from nature for a more sustainable materials and design future. Enter the culinary world of the circular design expert.
Dan Baron Cohen has spent 20+ years co-creating youth-led collectives in what was once considered a 'no-go favela' in the heart of the Amazon, transforminh lives with creative performance.
With Little Inventors, Dominic Wilcox brings crayon drawings to life as real life gadgets - inspiring kids to keep believing that the only real limit is their imagination.
Gerald Lidstone, Director of the Institute for Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship at Goldsmiths.
