Letters to the Future

Southbank Centre presents a new youth-led weekend festival featuring renowned creators, writers, activists and thinkers discussing some of the biggest topics facing our society today.

Amelia Dimoldenberg, Olly Alexander, Mya-Rose Craig and Rebecca F. Kuang curate panel discussions tackling the biggest issues of the moment, whilst lecturer, broadcaster and bestselling author Ash Sarkar delivers the inaugural Southbank Centre Annual Lecture.

Topics in discussion through the weekend include the future of relationships, the future of images and image-making in an oversaturated ‘post-truth’ era, the future of education, housing, queer storytelling, the future of digital media and reframing our relationship with nature beyond the Climate Crisis.

Complementing these events is an interdisciplinary programme of talks, performances, free gigs, DJs sets, and spoken word.
