ABOUT PRESENT FUTURES

Present Futures Glasgow is the fifth edition of a multi - disciplinary art event curated by Colette Sadler and produced by Feral. The 2023 edition will happen over the weekend of the 22nd – 24th June in partnership with the Centre of Contemporary Art (Glasgow). The festival creates a platform for Scottish and International artists whose work moves between performance, visual arts and sound to come together to consider post humanism, bodily representation and speculative futures with artistic experimentation at its core.

Present Futures 2023 will focus on the triangulation between Performance, ecology, and feminist theory.  Through a series of performances, discussions and films it considers the creation of new mythologies that dislodge patterns of power and offer new narratives as we enter collectively into precarious and unknown futures.
