A
event
held at Strange Brew
on Thursday 9th March. The event starts at 19:00.
In a time where the future is painted as fearful, we present to you a curated, simulated and sensory world where advances in technology, innovation and knowledge are welcomed as opportunities for creativity, equality and an environmental utopia.
In collaboration with Shiiku, UWE Fine Art and a host of other local collectives and artists, join us for a night of poetry, installations and electronic music to showcase the visions and potential for a natural-tech hybrid, accessible and diverse future of humanity.
Expect expressive spoken word on fighting the barriers of capitalism, interactive visuals co-created by our robot friends, ambient electronic beats with soft rainforest settings, and the voices of those ready to design a world that can be peacefully navigated by all. Get ready to experience a conceptual universe where flying cars and traditional community spirit can co-exist in harmony.
