A 2-day deconstructed summit on culture, AI, community and new ways of being

We are in a multi-polar world. AI is being built faster than culture can absorb it. Compounded they have permeated all facets of our lives, creating Ruptures everywhere, displacing and disrupting human futures and our collective abilities to think of what comes next.

Today most of us feel ungrounded and also not at the table where our futures are being designed. The cost of that absence is not abstract; it shows up in the cultural – how we exist with ourselves and with each other.After the Rupture is a working response: a gathering for the people building, funding, teaching and thinking of our futures. An interdisciplinary space to have embodied conversations about What’s Next?
