What we’re about
In 2020, as dystopia spills into real life, it seems the world can’t get enough of blockbuster dystopian fiction, either from Hollywood or bestselling novels.
But we are #OverDystopia.
Since lockdown started, a warm and friendly bunch from around the world have been meeting twice a month in quiet, creative rebellion. We are being bold, imagining a future we want, that thrives within planetary boundaries.
Each month we take a climate solution; we explore, discuss and inspect it and then we write hopeful stories, projecting ourselves into the future as though that solution were already so. As though tidal power were mainstream, as though all girls had access to education, as though all our buildings were made from sustainable materials.
We are not scriptwriters, published authors or professional creators (mostly) – we are global citizens reclaiming the oldest form of learning there is: the story.
We are not waiting for someone else to write the next chapter. We are writing it ourselves.
You are very welcome to join us.
The Cli-Fi Imaginarium is now open. Come and explore.
Now open for submissions to members: https://forms.gle/xuzWrfHAs4xbgPQ7A

More details about each session:
Every second Monday @ 7pm UK on Zoom.
Imagination Stretching
We'll spend some time getting to know the climate solution of the month, have a quick warm-up exercise then write for 20 mins. Then we'll head into breakout groups to share an excerpt of our writing with 1 or 2 other people. (Optional extra to stay on at the end and read yours out to everybody).
