At a point where our futures feel arguably increasingly uncertain and
volatile, and where atmospheres of anxiety are pervasive,*Refresh, Reboot,
Retool: new imaginaries for challenging times*provides a space to take time
to talk, take stock and reflect on how we might imagine and indeed create
conditions for positive change. With plenary sessions, panel discussions,
workshops and a walk, this event sets out to act as a space where questions
on the creative possibilities as well as the civic duties and
responsibilities of institutions and organisations can be mooted.
Furthermore it invites us to consider how we might sensitise ourselves to
the needs of seemingly diffuse and disparate, yet intensely related issues
and concerns, such as identity and environment? How might we do this better
and what is that we need in order to do so? Knowledge, imagination,
generosity, tenacity, new ways of working/seeing or hearing, abilities to
affect or mobilise change, abilities to reset, withdraw and reboot? Such
are the questions that will be attempted. We cordially invite you to join
us but we can only guarantee that we will leave with more questions than we
start with.
