PEOPLE'S EMERGENCY BRIEFING - Screening and Panel Watch the trailer for the People's Emergency Briefing film here: A lot’s happened since we launched Journey to Nutopia back in 2018. Our founding motto - 'refuting the inevitability of global dystopia' isn't gettng any easier, but that's all the more reason to look for the places in our doom-flooded news environment where The Work is happening - especially around the climate crisis. The first Journey to Nutopia was a three-day programme of talks, spoken word and acid house music as part of Birmingham’s Lunar Festival in 2018. Authors, activists, artists, academics, psychedelic researchers, poets and acid house DJs came together to boost ‘positive future narratives that refute the inevitability of a global dystopia’. It was a celebration of the DIY aesthetic, connectivity, community, touching grass, joy as resistance - all that good stuff which we will need to draw on as our weather, our politics, and our shared 'reality' becomes fractured, wilder and more unpredictable.
