Assembly for the Future Live from Planet City 2029

How might diverse societies accommodate ten billion humans in one city so that Earth might begin to heal?
How would we behave as a collective in a single hyper-dense city?

In this virtual Assembly, Australian-born / Los Angeles-based speculative architect and filmmaker Liam Young explores these question with eminent respondents, Nyikina Warrwa Custodian, AP1957 (Professor Anne Poelina) a Guardian of Martuwarra, and Nobel Prize Laureate, Professor Peter Doherty.

This collective provocation was taken up in future-making rooms stewarded by an ensemble of artist-moderators in the speculation of new worlds. Each artist-moderator created artworks as records of these new worlds in the form of Dispatches from the Future.

This Assembly for the Future was presented at ANAT SPECTRA 2022 :: Multiplicity on 25 March 2022, and is a project of The Things We Did Next, co-created by Alex Kelly & David Pledger and produced by Sophia Marinos with Not Yet It’s Difficult.
