Fixing the future event at CCCB 7th and 8th of June

Fixing the future: Are you a future curious?

Organized by Atlas of the Future, Fixing the Future is back. And this year it’s bigger, better and faster – because the future can’t wait!

After 2018’s sold out event in Barcelona, Fixing the Future will return on the 7th and 8th of June at the CCCB with more than 40 Future Heroes from around the world. This time they’re helping fix biodiversity, our oceans, food and farming, cities and the climate crisis.

From rockstar chefs and a big wave surfer to visionary architects and the youth sparking a worldwide movement: you can expect stories of people doing things very differently.

Among them, the “City Reinvertor” Areti Markopoulou and the “Future City Prototyper” Vicente Guallart will tell us how to solve the audacious goals of our planet with radical methods.

Urban visionary: Carolyn Steel

A leading thinker on food and cities, Carolyn was profiled by The Ecologist magazine as a “21st Century Visionary”. With reason. The London-based architect, lecturer, BBC presenter and TEDGlobal speaker coined ‘Sitopia’ – now a widely-recognised way of seeing the world through the lens of food – and her ‘Hungry City: How Food Shapes Our Lives’ was BBC Food Programme book of the year. What lessons can we learn from the past?

His next step: launching an exponential call to arms.
