There Will Be Tomorrows (TWBT) is an interdisciplinary collectively-organised group, centred around post-capitalist desire, liveable futures and social sufficiency.
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”
– Ursula K. Le Guin
About the TWBT group
At a time when contemporary crises are accumulating and accelerating, There Will Be Tomorrows aims to establish a site of active hope and resistance. TWBT will bridge arts and activism by stimulating experiments in radical imagination and building a commons for post-capitalist skills and knowledge. Its community will work together to model ideas and values that offer a basis for liveable futures: alternatives to oppressive capitalist systems.
Via practice-based, collective research and the re-imagination of societal structures, TWBT aims eventually to evolve a programme of collective practical actions that address specific needs of local people and local ecosystems.
The meetings last up to three hours and take place every other week. They often invite guests and are open to new members, so the group expands and contract in size. Activities are organised collectively, with members proposing workshops, discussions, reading groups, screenings, creative experiments, and more.
Topics that the groups encounters include:
// Collective care // Growing food // Collective ownership // Alternative economies // Climate and ecological justice // Community energy projects // Universal Basic Income // Decolonisation // Post-consumer art and leisure // Mental health under (post-)capitalism // Speculative fiction // Freedom from work // Post-fossil and post-capitalist imagining //
