The Future Now Festival of Creativity showcases the work of Sheffield Hallam University’s graduating students, including artists, designers, filmmakers, animators, writers, architects and performers. It asks emerging creatives to show us the future through exhibitions, events, performances and screenings.
The festival aims to present creative proposals to real problems: from new fashion to new videogames, human-centred approaches to the built environment to greater sustainability in the products we buy.
Through exhibitions, performances and talks, the festival proposes new brands and services, helps us glimpse alternative realities, and launches new enterprises. But most of all it tells stories, documenting the world as these creatives find it and how they’d like it to be.
The Future Now Festival of Creativity takes place across Sheffield city centre through April, May, June and July 2024.
Events include:
