Futurama brings the spirit of the Worlds Fair to SE15’s newest arts venue Peckham Space. This exhibition charts the journey of lead artist Harold Offeh, design team Glass Hill and local young people from Leaders of Tomorrow to imagine a better future for Peckham.

Harold Offeh whose work addresses ideas of collaboration, co-operation and participation will create a showroom of designed objects, video and images dedicated to this dynamic future vision. Inspired by how design can change the immediate surroundings, Offeh has invited Leaders of Tomorrow to re-imagine and improve their environment. Through site visits, tours and discussions, the young people have identified design solutions to improve the area.

These solutions include innovative seating, signage and lighting which will be realised by design team Glass Hill. Futurama will bring to life this futuristic vision for an experience that draws on the rich history and legacy of international Worlds fairs and Expos.

Leaders of Tomorrow are a youth inclusion project, which is part of Southwark Council’s Youth Services. Futurama is the second exhibition in this new arts venue for London which opened in June this year with a whole new approach to commissioning, making and exhibiting art. Peckham Space is an arts organisation that is part of Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London in partnership with Southwark Council.

Cost: Free, open Tues - Fri 11.00am - 17.00pm and Sat 11.00am - 16.00pm
