FUTURE-PROOF is an open series of talks focusing on accessibility and the sustainability of innovation. We highlight the resources and innovations already in the works that can help our surroundings and communities thrive. Believing that the implementation of care is a matter of future-proofing, one innovation per session, we explore prototypes still in development, emerging and successful artistic practices and businesses.
