Opening: From Earth – The Future is Here

Join us to celebrate the opening of an installation and release of a magazine inspired by imaginations and visions around how work, work places and professional neighborhoods could foster planetary, organisational and individual wellbeing in the neighborhood around Media Evolution in Malmö. These were shared and gathered over the past year through a process led by Media Evolution, Dark Matter Labs, and the City of Malmö’s Generate district, where people working, living and spending time in this neighborhood were invited to join share signals of change, explore potential synergies in attending to different challenges and imagine new ways of working and being. These contributions were coupled with research identifying pathways towards enabling these futures.

There will be drinks, snacks and a toast to the future at 4.45 pm.

Installation

From Earth is a spatial, sculptural and tactile installation created by Malmö-based artists, architects and spatial designers Johanna Jonsson (Polymorf), and My Comét (Studio My Comét) – a place for continued dialogue and contemplation about futures of regenerative professional neighborhoods.

Newspaper

The newspaper created by Dark Matter Labs captures problem areas, future scenarios, impact zones, and actionable solutions for regenerative neighbourhoods. It showcases how re-imagining the relationships between workspaces, homes, and mobility can evolve business while improving human and planetary health.

Context

This work is part of The Future is Here - A fast track from imagining to implementing regenerative futures. In this initiative, as part of Shift Sweden, Media Evolution, Dark Matter Labs and The City of Malmö’s Generate District development initiative engage municipalities, businesses, researchers, civic actors, and innovators to co-envision and prototype pathways for systemic change. Two pillars guide the work: a science-based framing of what is truly needed for a regenerative future, and the creation of strong alliances to accelerate action. The resulting model is designed to be adaptable in different contexts to fast-track systemic change.
