A KIND — OF — FUTURE

A kind of future is an invite to think about the future through creativity, considering kindness at the center of every design action.

From May 16th to May 26th, the ninth edition of the international visual and social design festival Graphic Days® will take place at the spaces of Flashback Habitat in Turin. An exhibition itinerary, a permanent work space and a calendar of events including lectures, workshops, live performances, DJ sets and children’s activities, at the main venue and spread throughout the city, will interpret the title “A kind of future” through two keys.

The Theme

A kind of future is first of all a hypothesis of the future, focusing on the use of new languages and the enhancement of creativity and young talent. Experimentation is intended to be all-around, ranging from the decontextualized use of everyday objects in creative and innovative ways to cutting-edge technologies based on artificial intelligence and the development of new tools.

A kind future is the second key of the festival: a future that brings kindness to the center, in which care for people and the planet are the primary focus of every design action.
