Utopia Works Invite
Graeme Smith
on Friday 20th May there is an 'Energy Hack' event taking place at the Mill. Details are attached.
You're Invited to Utopia Works: Energy Hack at Derby Silk Mill.
UTOPIA WORKS: ENERGY HACKWe are delighted to invite you to participate in Utopia Works at the site of the world’s first factory, Derby Silk Mill on 20th May 2016.
Utopia Works will be an Energy Hack. It will seek to activate conversations around energy and the themes of industry, engineering, making. It is inviting a sense of shared ownership of the dilemmas, choices and opportunities around energy and climate change, faced by a range of people in the region of the English Midlands.
We think you are a vital part of this conversation and invite you to bring your dilemmas, concerns, passion and skills to address energy futures in an intensive one-day hack.
We are inviting you to make a factory (works) of utopian thinking and making, which will bring together research, community and creative partners in an enterprise of co-production. Utopia Works will take place from 9am – 8pm at the Derby Silk Mill and is influenced by Thomas More’s Utopia.
Thomas More was the first to give a name and form to an idea that has captured human imagination throughout history: that by imagining a better world is possible, we are empowered to create it.
Please RSVP by 6 May 2016 to la...@derbymuseums.org
In the 500th anniversary year of the publication of Utopia, Derby Museums together with the AHRC Connected Communities project Stories of Change intend the Utopia Works event to create a space where creative and participatory processes can help provoke thinking about new and alternative energy futures.
Participants include makers, hackers, artists, academics, volunteers, designers, museum professionals, energy experts, employers and employees from industry.
The outcomes of the day will be showcased at Somerset House, London at the AHRC Connected Communities Utopias Fair in June 2016. They will also be presented on the Stories of Change online Platform. The Utopia Works event and programme of ‘congenial activities’ will diversify community engagement with the Stories of Change research project about energy and industry and will also inform the development of the Derby Silk Mill - Museum of Making.
