This is a call to collective action. It is time to make this right now - the urgencies of our time demand that we respond to a wide range of multiple, but overlapping crises. Join us early June 2022  for a side event of the New European Bauhaus festival in Brussels to launch af_ actionable futures as a platform: a rather informal, but agile frame to engage a wide range of actors across the artistic, cultural and creative sectors, coming together with the aim to make the Green Deal 'real'. 

Art, culture and creativity will be decisive to transform societies towards sustainability and enable systemic change, just transitions and circular aesthetics. Actionable futures are fueled by shared creativity, distributed architectures, open innovation, and a model of intelligence that, more than merely “artificial,” is above all collective. Applying some of the main insights of circular economies to the role of the productive imagination is complemented, by all means of creative research and experimentation, with new materialities, open technological infrastructures and emerging cognitive assemblages.
