[SELECTION | MOST RECENT]
THE IMAGINATION AGENCY
At THE IMAGINATION AGENCY we explore techniques to train the muscle of imagination. Focusing on those who have a thorough understanding of what’s fundamentally wrong in our respective societies. To help develop and cultivate knowledge on desirable and just futures – and eventually: practises of alternatives.

UTOPIA TALKS
UTOPIA TALKS is a public talk series at Thalia Theater in Hamburg, in conversation with our thought-provoking, inspiring guests – scholars, thinkers, writers & practitioners in politics, art, media, social & community work with expertise in imagining or practising otherwise – we will investigate what there is by analysing the dominant norms and practises: the dystopian elements of the present, as well as curate and highlight alternative practises in the present.
Over the course of the series of talks, we will explore imaginations and real utopias beyond the destructive forces of neo-liberal capitalism, patriarchy, racism, climate injustice, and many other forms of injustice, destructiveness and alienation in today’s world. Moving from the deconstruction of the present to the construction of alternative futures. From what else there could be to what else is emerging and already is. From analysis to imagination to practise.

WIDERSTAND & LEBEN
Wie – in Zeiten von Aufrüstung, Faschisierung, Militarisierung, Kriegen & Genoziden – einerseits Widerstand leisten und andererseits in das Leben unserer Ideale kommen?
Wie verhalten sich Widerstand & Leben zueinander? Und lassen sie sich überhaupt voneinander trennen?
In unserer Reihe »Widerstand x Leben« im eeden, widmen wir uns diesen & anderen Fragen. Weil es gerade jetzt dringend Räume des gemeinsamen Nachdenkens, Miteinanderseins, der Verbundenheit, der Widerständigkeit braucht, haben wir ihn uns – und Euch – geschaffen.

PROGRESSOMASCHINE BY FUTURE_S
The “Progressomaschine” is the first intersectional and inclusive online election tool to help choose a party for the German national elections in 2021. The questions have been set by more than 50 organisations, representing underprivileged and marginalised electoral groups. This tool helps to put an emphasis on a more diverse range of topics relevant for an open society, strengthening social solidarity.
Along with future_s over 20 individuals from various organisations have helped create this tool, e.g. from Initiative Offene Gesellschaft, Netzwerk 3te Generation Ost, Claim – Allianz gegen Islam- und Muslimfeindlichkeit, EOTO, Seebrücke, Deutscher Frauenrat, Neue Deutsche Organisationen and Refugee Law Clinic Berlin.
