Five towns are about to launch a major cultural festival showcasing the region’s unique arts, music, food and sporting prowess. This is going to revitalise the area and make these towns internationally famous. Three days before the opening ceremony, a tropical depression in the ocean has strengthened into a category five typhoon, heading straight for the peninsula. Now, the town leaders need to decide: will they cancel the festival and focus on disaster preparation? Or will they push ahead and create an unforgettable experience in the face of disaster?
The Future for Beginners is a hands-on climate simulation as part of the London Design Biennale. Working together, participants will have the chance to transform this quiet peninsula into a world-famous cultural hub, in the face of escalating climate shocks.
The Future for Beginners is created by David Finnigan, Melanie Frances and Becky-Dee Trevenen, in partnership with Chatham House and London Design Biennale.
Tickets £40, concessions apply. Your ticket for Future for Beginners includes entry to London Design Biennale.
