Bumper Edition of Citizen sci-fi at Furtherfield - events and exhibition, 2020
Coming up in the next couple of weeks we have a number of events and an exhibition as part of Furtherfield’s three-year Citizen Sci-Fi programme, crowdsourcing creative and technological visions of our communities and public spaces, together. 2020 is the year of Love Machines, nurturing living and machine systems for mutual care and respect on earth and beyond. 1. The Treaty of Finsbury Park 2025 Drop-in Session Please join us to help make and play a game for multispecies cooperation. How do we collectively care for Finsbury Park? Which people and which creatures? What part would you like to play? This Summer, we invite you to join us at Furtherfield to explore these questions. Together we will make and play a game with various characters, imagining Finsbury Park in 2025 as the place where a global multispecies revolution begins – and changes the world forever. Come and meet the game designers Cade and Ruth, and each other, at Furtherfield Commons for food, drink and a chat 17:00 – 18.30, Sunday, 8 March, or 11:00 – 17:00, Monday, 9 March. https://cutt.ly/qtru3Fy 2.
