Telling the story of a brighter future — curating a collective vision for tomorrow.

The world is really hurting right now, and we're getting deeper into an era of uncertainty. But there are many who are fighting for a new hopeful world, and in this there is a lot of opportunity.

What does that world actually look like? And where is the place where all these ideas come together to create a powerful vision for what’s possible?

A Library for Imagined Futures

Library of Hope is a digital archive and creative research project collecting visions of what the future could be.

It’s a space built by and for dreamers — artists, thinkers, system-shifters and visionaries who believe the world can look, feel and function differently.

Through stories, interviews, articles and visual experiments, the Library explores imagined futures across systems, cultures, cities and ways of living — curating possibilities we haven’t yet seen, but can start to believe in.

what will the world literally look like;

when nobody is hungry?

When all kids aRE able to learn freely?

When nature and our cities work together in harmony?

When all people can walk down the street and feel safe?

HOPE STARTS HERE

These chapters guide the Library — each one offering a way to explore the world as it could be. Through Health, Opportunity, Peace and Environment, we start to sketch out what hope can look like in action.

    Opportunity

    What does our world look like where people are free to dream, have equal access to education, employment, and key resources. They feel loved, respected, heard and recognised and so anything feels possible?

  • Green abstract shape with dark green circular detail

    Environment

    What does our world look like when it’s an equal and balanced regenerative system between humans and nature?
