Project / Forward: 2047

What if artists were in charge of planning and imagining what the world would be like in the year 2047?

Project/Forward: 2047 is a free, micro, global projection art festival featured in unique public spaces, creating a solutions-based blueprint for a better world.

Project / Forward has been exploding with shattering light shards onto public walls around the world for 2 years in places like Bangladesh, Colombia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Jordan, the Philippines, Nepal, Hong Kong, Italy, Finland, Austria and USA, and now, Newtown!

Part of the Inner West Fest, we are transforming this iconic Newtown hub into a micro open-air viewing pod, where you can see an hour of moving image art by over 40 artists from around the world who are imagining the pieces for a better way forward.

Register, grab a blanket, and kick back for an hour of eyeball bliss and some inspiring, quirky, powerful and hopeful visions for an artist-designed future. Come and check out what happens when artists are in charge.

“The future is up for grabs. It belongs to any and all who will take the risk and accept the responsibility of consciously creating the future they want.” - Robert Anton Wilson
