MzTEK is going to Watermans for the day to see the Power of 8 exhibition, and to talk with Anab Jain, the designer and filmmaker who conceived of, and initiated the project.

We welcome any women interested to come and join us for the morning at Watermans, and then we’ll go for a pub lunch after to chew the fat/cud, and generally have a nice afternoon.

The power of 8 is collaborative project, 8 people from different walks of life work together to build a public conversation about their individual aspirations for a desirable future.

For the past few years, Anab has worked on speculative projects around emerging technologies, to encourage debate on the different possible futures that may happen. As a designer, this genre of design fiction aims to impact our current day concepts by enabling us to think of directions in which our collective future is shaped

Check out powerof8.org.uk for more details on the project.
