Hope in the Heat is a new collection of works examining and reflecting upon the environmental choices and decisions which impact society today.

With speculative design and art studio Superflux, the six Future Producers have developed their own perspectives and visions for other possible worlds; from intergalactic intimacy and space travel envisioned through the Black queer gaze, to plant generated poetry and post-colonial herbology.

Via a dedicated site designed by Studio Koseda, this online experience brings together the Future Producers’ interactive works, visual displays and films, as well as essays and interviews with the emerging creatives.

The way a society imagines its future matters. And who gets to do the imagining matters.
