How artists can fight back against dystopia – futurist Liam Young

Описание: In dark times, artists and storytellers have a responsibility to craft counter-narratives that challenge dominant ideologies and offer hope. In this panel talk about the artwork AFTER THE END at ACMI in 2024, futurist and filmmaker Liam Young explores the urgent need for artists to engage with the political and cultural landscape, especially with the looming spectre of #fascism in the United States following the election of Donald #trump. Young discusses the power of world-building, the importance of resisting dystopian despair, and the role of new media in shaping alternative futures.

Hear Young’s thought-provoking insights on creativity, #hope, #resistance and the future of storytelling.

Liam Young and Natasha Wanganeen's artwork AFTER THE END is showing at ACMI as part of the world premiere exhibition, THE FUTURE & OTHER FICTIONS.
