Description of The Future Factory 2025:
We are excited to invite you to TFF 2025, where together we will dive into the discussion of tangible utopias. Building on last year’s process of imagining the Europe we want, this year we will explore existing concepts of people’s democratic planning and the possibilities they open up for peace and justice.
The Future Factory explores the possibilities that people’s democratic planning opens for peace and justice. We translate these concepts into our contexts of struggle and spaces of exchange, whether at the local community level or on a wider scale. Together, we will create a language of resistance that articulates not only hope but strategic ways forward.
Following our June 2023 festival and September 2024 gathering, we will bring again together activists, academics, diverse Left, progressive and anticapitalist activists and organisations to discuss, plan and design peaceful and collaborative futures where war and exploitation will not only be unthinkable but impossible! Join us in workshops, lectures, plenaries and assemblies!
Please find below the programme. It will be continuously updated in the coming weeks. Come back and check for news!
