Read the Full Programme
FUTURA can be whatever you want it to mean, analyse, or express. Let’s join the debate.
Is it climate change? Is it AI? Our hopes, our dreams? Is FUTURA even possible? FUTURA is us, human beings expressing our full potential. Solidarity. Growth. What would you like FUTURA to be?
The beautiful design of the official poster this year was created by Bellina Ilustra.
