Future Prosepcts: A Panel on Personal Utopias Saturday 7th December, 1-2pm FREE | Registrations appreciated via eventbrite

Led by critic, writer and WORD Christchurch Programme Director Kiran Dass, hear our panelists talk about creating the utopias they wish to live in. Like Derek Jarman’s Prospect Cottage, each of our panelists have created beauty and innovation in unlikely places.

In the shadow of an abandoned nuclear power plant, Jarman turned Prospect Cottage into a place of refuge and creativity. Our panelists – artist and writer Sam Duckor-Jones, writer and community activator Helen Lehndorf, and playwright, producer and director Hone Kouka – have each seen a barren space and filled it with something gratifying.
