Future Festival
The Future Festival will take place in the Reykjavik City Library Grófin on January 25th 2025.
The Future Festival is an open space for collective dreaming and imagination, where participants can engage in creative exercises, reimagine societal possibilities, and explore how we can shape a more just, innovative, and inclusive future. Whether through deep conversations, playful interventions, or hands-on activities, the festival encourages us all to stretch our minds and envision what we could do differently for a brighter tomorrow. The library offers a unique democratic platform—a true place of practice where we can gather to reflect on the issues you want to discuss and work together to build strong alliances for better futures. How can we develop communities with common intentions?
Imagine a future 100 years from now... You are moving through your community: how do you get around and what surrounds you? Is it quiet? Are there people around? Animals or plants? What tools do you have in your bag? Where do you rest and what did you eat that day?
