We Demand A Million More Years

June 28-30, 2022
Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin

Training for the Future is a utopian training camp where audiences become trainees to exercise in alternative futures. This year’s edition, titled WE DEMAND A MILLION MORE YEARS, will focus on chronopolitics: the politics of time in a moment we are out of time. Artists, philosophers, activists as well as non-human presences will lead trainings on time travel, deep listening, radical slowness, the subconscious present and plant based time.

Join us in the trainings and reclaim the means of production of our future. Training for the Future will take place at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo on 28, 29 and 30 June, from 1 pm to 11 pm. Participation is free, but registration and full day attendance is required.
