The event is now open again – and on the night we will then update this page in regards to capacity. It is near impossible to accurately guess final numbers and this way we can just go with the flow – in true SWARM spirit…
Program to follow very soon…
The Swarm, the Zeitgeist Movement Brisbane, Atlas Unite, and the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) are having an event and would love you to be there!
We want you to be part of The SWARM – It’s a party with buzz.
Cooking Up a Storm by Paul Beer
Think of the parties and café cultures of the surrealists and other early modernists fusing artists, intellectuals, and play.
This is going to be a night of revelry, ideology, globally conscious brainstorming and live art creation exploring the Great Transition; as we elaborate and collaborate on the alternative future we seek.
Together, we’re going to delve into the rich potentials of the 21-hour work week. We’re going to express and create around what the future daily life will be like. We’ll consider the world around us; the work, energy, caring economy and law that will sustain us. We’ll be envisaging the new dream jobs, the new success.
This event of radical dreaming is informed by the Creative Factory in Paris last year. During UN COP21 dozens of activists, artists and experts on climate change, degrowth and the economy from all over the world met for collaboration, producing exciting results (see links below).
We’re after collaborators, experts, artists, musicians, community members. We’re keen to hear ideas and feedback.
Art supplies and some instruments provided. Admission is free, donations on the day appreciated.
Hope to hear from you and see you there!
