Future Museum
A series of participatory experimental workshops, building speculative futures in order to reflect on current social and environmental issues. The workshop uses the fomat of The Museum of Future Food (Coleman and Hodges 2014) to explore the drivers and dynamics of change - political, economic, technological, cultural, ecological. Collaboration with Robbie Coleman.
Workshop #1: For a week during December 2015 coinciding with the COP21 Climate Talks in Paris, and as part of ArtCOP21, issues and comment on climate change were brought into the heart of Dumfries town centre with interactive artworks and public actions, discussions and film at The Stove. www.thestove.org
The Museum of Climate Futures workshop was run at an evening of discussion and conversation on artistic responses and approach to global climate change agendas and large scale change: How do artists engage with large scale issues and concepts like environment and climate change? How can artists influence new ways of looking at the future? How can we create our own futures?
