Camden Inspire is a festival of the arts that explores the world we live in through a creative lens, and this year, we are Gathering for the Future.
The climate crisis is here and we already feel its profound impacts. The festival programme is full of opportunities to discuss bold ideas, create artistic solutions, and gets hands on building practical interventions. We are coming together as a community passionate about our neighbourhoods, to visualise and demand a bright future.
This year's theme, Gathering for our Future, brings people together to imagine the world we want to create. It is a celebration of the people, ideas and projects already laying the foundations for a future that is more resilient, more just, and more deeply connected with nature.
We’re looking for work that speaks to the situation we are in with the climate crisis; sparking curiosity, conversation and hope. Whether you are displaying cutting-edge technology, a community campaign, restoration efforts, circular economy, storytelling, food systems, architectural approaches, fashion or lifestyle changes… We’d love to hear from you.
Your work should connect with one or more of the following themes:
Submissions are encouraged from artists, designers, architects, scientists, makers, innovators, researchers, community groups and creative practitioners.
