You &Co. make the future!
We would love to hear from people who want to share their skills:
Are you an artist or designer?
Can sharing knowledge change the world?
We want to hear from creative people from Forest Hill, Kirkdale and Sydenham who would like to try out a new way of working.
Co.Futures will create collaborations between artists/designers/makers/writers and people with business knowledge, life-experiences or stories to share. We will supply a micro-seed fund, to get your collaboration started and ask you to produce a product as a result of your partnership.
The project aims to mobilise the weatlh of knowledge that exists in our neighbourhoods. As we progress through life we gather lots of knowledge and experience, yet we live in streets where we might not know our neighbours, let alone form collaborations. However, what if, someone you meet in the street gives you an inspiring piece of information or shares a tale that transforms your thoughts. What if you use this to create something new which in turn changes our world.
The Co.Futures project strives to reconsider how people's skills and experience are passed-on to others. So rather than knowledge being owned and lost, Co.Futures wants to reimagine knowledge as a currency to be shared between people who might not naturally meet each other.
As a first experiment, our enquiry explores whether we can create a collection of artifacts that might include apps, objects, writings, performances, etc that capture and mobilise knowledge.

Do you have business skills or life experiences to share?
Have you got knowledge, experience or tales to share? Maybe you've travelled the world and gathered many insights you want to pass on. Are you a business or entrepreneurial professional?

If so, we would like to hear from you. As part of the Co.Futures project we will team you up with an artist, designer, wrtier or entrepreneur who will share their knowledge/skills to create a new product from your collaboration.
