Last Futures is a collaborative project between Glasgow School of Art, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Glasgow University, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and Tramway Glasgow, culminating in a large exhibition, performance, and evening of art performances at Tramway, Glasgow (https://www.lastfutures.com/). The exhibition sought to question the contemporary political climate of 2018 by contextualising it through comparative progression from the socio-political climate of 1968:
“1968 was a year full of protests, pickets, riots and revolutions emblazoned with a vision of a brighter future. From student protests in Paris to anti-communist uprisings in Poland, campaigns against the Vietnam War, and the heat of the Civil Rights movement, ordinary people demanded change. The era marked a shift in performance, dance, visual art, design, music, architecture and film, in terms of form, approach and the flattening of hierarchies. Social, political and subversive ideas percolating for decades came to the fore.
Reflecting on moments of the present which are the future’s past, Last Futures is a series of events which puts student voices at the forefront of proposing radical alternatives. Can an expanded dialogue around current socio–political, artistic and resistance movements generate new futures?” - Last Futures
