Description

A Potentia is a possible future; a different form of social organisation; a better world; a society organised to prioritise human flourishing and environmental sustainability. A Potentia is similar to a Utopia but rooted in the here and now; it is possible to imagine the steps that would take us from the present to a Potentia.

There is more than one Potentia.

Start Where You Are: Second Degree Potentias features new commissions by Roger Bygott, Clare Bonetree, Sandra Bouguerch, Annie Harrison, Jane Lawson, Monty, Lea Torp Nielsen and Claire Tindale alongside work by Ellie Harrison, Tim Etchells and John Newling.

There will be flags, chocolate houses, Stonehenge made of filtertips, pinkness, diagrams, reflections, research into a 21st century Eden, 20 hypothetical cities, a plan to fundraise with a giant wind turbine, a reading room, The Dispossessed and, on preview night, our official project cocktail: Consensus on the Beach
