Hack Your Age: Imagine Technology For Your Future

A series of creative arts workshops, imagining and exploring the future of technology, it’s problems and it’s promise. All ages welcome. 

About:

The internet is becoming more embedded in our lives. But what information does it collect about you? Do you think it is designed for you? Do you know how it works or what it looks like? Do you trust it? Will it be important to your future happiness or health?

We invited those who are starting to consider their old age, now or in the future, to join us at the Citadel Youth Centre for a workshop series over the course of two weeks.

Through discussion, storytelling, theatre and crafts, we made props and short performances based on their own future selves. We explored what matters to them when it comes to the future, and the role technology might play in this (or not!). They were given an opportunity to “break the internet” in a safe space and make their own fictional technology for an imagined future.

Hack Your Age blends tech and drama to explore what the role of technology will be in the future especially in our older age. It’s for younger and older people from all backgrounds and cultures.
