Co.Futures is a creative residency
located on the London high streets of Forest Hill, Kirkdale & Sydenham and
led by art/design duo, Burton Nitta.
Co.Futures researches and designs
the high street of the future.
The locations of our residency are at
various stages of transition. All exhibit the signs of a changing world. These
encompass shifting ways of trade and industry, the turbulent economy,
developments in our work-life, food, science & technology. We believe that with each of these
changes a new possibility is presented to redesign the services, products and
places that evolve in the resulting gaps.
We consider the high street as a
place of people and interactions, full of human-made systems. As such we can redesign the way we use the street as a collaborative space.
Instead of filling our streets with
the same products, shops and cafes found across the land, we invite you to imagine new
opportunities to create a unique identity based on people, place &
location.
We invite you to join our enquiry
to ask what are the future ways to live together? What is citizenship in the 21st
Century? How would you like to shape the high street of the future? Ultimately imagine new ways of living and valuing each other.
