The Wild Future Labs were initiated in 2021 by a collective of artists, designers, scientists, and community leaders who recognized the urgent need to address the challenges posed by climate change and ecological degradation. The labs actively pursue the following objectives:

Facilitating collaboration among artists, designers, and scientists to undertake extensive research projects.

Developing novel models of community engagement and ecological resilience.

Action to safeguard our planet's precious natural resources, creating a collective drive for environmental conservation.

Residencies: The labs offer residencies to artists, designers, and scientists. These residencies provide participants with the opportunity to conduct extensive research projects, allowing them to explore and develop their ideas over an extended period.

Workshops and training sessions: The labs offer workshops and training sessions focused on various aspects of ecological resilience and rewilding. These workshops and training sessions equip participants with valuable knowledge and skills to address environmental challenges effectively.

Public events and exhibitions: The labs host public events and exhibitions aimed at raising awareness about the significance of wild spaces and rewilding. These events and exhibitions encourage public engagement and participation in environmental conservation efforts.

Collaborative partnerships with local communities: The labs work with local communities to implement projects that tackle climate change and ecological degradation. These partnerships foster a sense of collective responsibility and ownership among community members.

The Wild Future Labs have had a significant impact on the fight against climate change and ecological degradation. The labs have helped to foster collaboration among artists, designers, and scientists, develop novel models of community engagement and ecological resilience, raise awareness about the critical significance of wild spaces, and inspire individuals to take meaningful action to safeguard our planet's precious natural resources.

Together we have provided:

Increased visibility and career expansion for artists and community based organizations.

Organizational support and sponsorship for small grassroots organizations.

Increased advocacy around local environmental challenges, in Kenya (water scarcity and access), Aspen (forest burning and ecological restoration).
