Step inside our iconic conservatory for a day of talks, performances and workshops centred around intentional community building.
Join us for a day of talks, performances, films and workshops centred around the history and current evolution of intentional community building. The programme will explore methods of fostering collectivity and ecological connection through the collective practices of dance, music, art-making, design & communal living.
Using a broad definition of Intentional Community across location based co-housing, radical arts collectives and digital communities, we explore topics and philosophies ranging from healing biotopes, free parties & rave culture, polyamorous love, the solidarity economy & decolonising plant relationality.
Taking learnings from a lineage of intentional communities, the multidisciplinary programme will also contemplate new structures for speculative collective futures.
