Building a future city where all voices are heard
“Our simultaneous objectives – developing artists, art and the city – come together excellently in the Future DiverCities – Creativity in an Urban Context project that started in 2016. At the core of the project is urban city space, its cultural diversity and all the voices in the city.”
Johanna Tuukkanen, the Artistic Director of ANTI Festival welcomes all of you to join us on our four-year expedition of Future DiverCities in the new article on our website!
Future DiverCities celebrating its first year
Are you a Future DiverCitizen?
The end of the first Future DiverCities programme theme, Future DiverCitizens is near – and you are invited to join the celebrations!
On Wednesday 17th May, Future DiverCities is on Twitter with #FDCitiesChat to discuss everything that a ‘DiverCitizen’ is and can be around the world in Europe, the UK, the US, Canada and beyond.
Discuss being a citizen of the world in 2017 and all that entails, from geographical location to country of origin, nationality to diverse nations and how culture, art and politics can bring this all together.
