Driving the Human: 21 Visions for Eco-social Renewal Program
Hosted by Forecast at radialsystem in Berlin, Driving the Human: 21 Visions for Eco-social Renewal developed across dimensions: on the one hand, it manifested as an experienceable and memorable in-person experience; on the other, the event became a digital broadcast and offered an online platform for exchange.
The event offered a variety of formats, creating various points of entry to the themes explored by each of the presented projects. In Berlin, three days of intense, multidimensional programming offered immersive experiences and interactive installations; focused readings and embodied knowledge; riveting screenings and stimulating performances.
For those who could not join us in Berlin, Driving the Human: 21 Visions for Eco-social Renewal also proposed a digital broadcast – watch the livestream videos here.
