We think we can change it all. We think we have the imagination to change it all. We really do. So, to help with the changes, we are throwing an OPTIMISM PARTY! A party by and for desperate optimists. Welcome!

With the price of oil and gas going into the stratosphere funding military aggression against democracy, billionaires firing themselves on rockets into space, rising water levels and a run of once-a-century storms, the viral pandemic (and Boris’ Downing St parties) are hardly even news. Feeling helpless? Wishing someone would tuck you into bed and kiss it better? In 2020, a group of 12 artists came together to imagine better futures. Embracing their commitment to optimism, they’ll spend three hours dreaming it all better for you. Bring hope.

Following an online residency at the beginning of the pandemic, when it felt that everything really might change, this durational performance is a reunion. Like all reunions, it’s uncertain, but the artists are determined to attempt to recapture their sense of optimism for better worlds, better working conditions, better friendships and a better future.

This is a durational performance, you are welcome to drop in and out. Please also be aware the performance is being live streamed.
