What could the future be like if our cities were places of multi species kinship and collaboration? You are invited to time travel to 2035 to be part of designing building and rehearsing the future.
Town Anywhere is a large scale community visioning process that brings together large groups of people to imagine and then spend the day creating a fictional city of the future shaped by your ideas, questions, and dreams. Participants translate visions for neighbourhoods, systems of care, education, governance, and open spaces into an interactive installation where imagination and dialogue come together.
In a time of major and sometimes paralysing societal challenges, Town Anywhere invites action through collaboration. By building, talking, and designing together, participants will co-create models of a possible future that faces into ongoing climate and ecological challenges with care and through multi species kinship and collaboration, coming away with inspiration for change in Rotterdam’s neighborhoods and communities.
Town Anywhere is an exercise in collective imagination, Thrutopia, and reclaiming agency over the city we want to live in and our role within it. You are invited to Join in. Build together. Create together.
