World Premiere: BBC Culture in Quarantine 02 September 2021. Iterations will then be shown in a group exhibition 25 September 2021 -16 January 2022 at the Attenborough Arts Centre, in a group show The World Is A Work In Progress that also features one of the performers in the film, artist Bob and Roberta Smith.

How To Thrive In 2050: 8 Tentacular Workouts For A Tantalising Future! is a manifesto by an Octopussy for a more creative, decolonised, equitable and ‘neuro-fantastic’ future. Blending discourse with mythology, geomancy with geopolitics, autobiography with the celestial, this collage is a retort to our troubled moment of multiple crises. Spanning performance, animation, interviews (including with artist Bob and Roberta Smith), text and original music composition, the 14-minute video-essay is a whirlwind of eight exercises for the body and mind. Playful yet at times poignant, coy but also blunt, poetic yet pungent, it argues that, in such times of despair, art can remind us to imagine how things can be, and that each of us must play an active part. Drawing on the words of Audre Lorde, Brecht, Beckett and Abdelkader Benali and more, it calls on viewers to (re-)imagine, and act on, how things can become. Be prepared to be disorientated, surprised, and re-energised. Are you ready?
