MAIA Creatives was commissioned to programme, curate and host the Future CURIOUS launch event. We also supported the marketing campaign and provided blog content.
The Future C U R I O U S project is powered by mac birmingham’s Next Generation programme, currently led by Independent producer Yinka Danmole.
The project was developed to enable young people to explore future innovation, technology and thinking through creativity. The first summer festival curated and led by Yinka and Amy Martin produced a wide ranging, free, open access season for aspiring and emerging artists, exploring future arts practices through artist talks, commissions, workshops, lectures, visits and labs.
The programme encouraged young and emerging artists to tinker, play, hack and respond to three key themes: Sustainability & the environment | Creative Technology, data & The Internet, Space & Place.
