OPEN TO THE PUBLIC UPON REGISTRATION. The role of creatives, designers and policymakers has never been more important - both in making a new society desirable and the nuts and bolts of making it work. The Chronicles of Ecotopia is a film showing, followed by a discussion that explores the role of creating aspirational stories and visions of positive futures. Just as the 'Futurama', 'Autotopia' exhibitions defined much of the way we live in the 20th Century, moves are now underway to create the same collective positive vision for the 21st Century.
