There Will Be Tomorrows (TWBT) is an interdisciplinary, collectively organised group centred on post-capitalist desire, liveable futures and social sufficiency. Initiated by Alex Brown (UK/NO), the group meets at PRAKSIS about twice a month.
“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 bridges arts and activism by stimulating experiments in radical imagination and building a commons for post-capitalist skills and knowledge. Its community works together to model ideas and values that offer a basis for liveable futures: alternatives to oppressive capitalist systems.
Through practice-based, collective research and the reimagining of societal structures, TWBT aims eventually to develop a programme of collective, practical actions that address the specific needs of local people and local ecosystems.
Meetings last up to three hours and take place every other week. The group often invites guests and is open to new members, so it expands and contracts in size. Activities are organised collectively, with members proposing workshops, discussions, reading groups, screenings, creative experiments and more.
Topics the group engages with 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 //
