Hopeful Futures: A Two day event exploring the future of creative technology

Hopeful Futures is a two-day event exploring the future of creative technology in Bath and Bristol. After five years of experimentation, our creative community comes together to answer the question: What's the future of creative tech for our cities?

Together with artists, technologists, academics and producers we will imagine our collective futures, discuss how to build more equitable economies and consider how we can really understand our audiences. From VR and app development; to immersive installations and unique soundscapes; the ideas emerging from Bristol+Bath Creative R+D are imbued with culture, compassion and courageous thinking.

We invite you to test, play and be challenged. Join us and help to create a hopeful future for the creative industries in our region

Lunch will be provided on both days. Please provide your dietary requirements upon registration.

Circle/دایره

Circle/دایره is a new live performance work grown out of an intensive R+D prototype process between Squidsoup and Vilk Collective.

With sold out shows in 2021 at Trinity Bristol, The Egg theatre Bath and Bristol Beacon this 30 minute sensory experience combines immersive sound and light with live music and dance. Through the musical narrative in both Farsi and English, themes of migration, heritage and identity come to light.
