Margaret Atwood: Practical Utopias - An Exploration of the Possible

Saturday 10 August 2024, 15:15 - 16:15

EFI Venue T

 

As part of their Future Tense series, and in partnership with Future Library, Edinburgh International Book Festival present Margaret Atwood: Practical Utopias, chaired by Naomi Alderman. Atwood will appear remotely, questioning if we can we reset the relationship between people and planet by bringing a new way of thinking to some of our most fundamental and pressing questions: what kind of homes should we live in? What should we eat? How can we share space on this planet together?

 

On Sunday 11 August, Jennifer Williams, Utopia Lab Programme Director at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, will deliver a workshop using Atwood's framework.
