Make things.
Share stories.

Music, film, art and gatherings help people imagine and discuss a different future. They are also worthwhile parts of life in their own right.

Tell stories about real experiences

A participating business could share a useful change, a failed experiment or something a person has learned. Film and other creative work could make those experiences easier to discuss. Appearing in a story would be a separate choice from working in the business.

Show what exists, what is being tried and what is imagined

Demonstrated tools, actual work, published results and a source trail.

What is being tried

Experiments, costs, setbacks, unanswered questions and revisions.

What is imagined

Music, film, speculative environments and possible futures clearly identified as such.

Ideas for 2032 and 2035

The wider proposals use Brisbane 2032 as an opportunity to explore learning and cultural activity, without claiming an official Games partnership. A proposed GAJRA Earth gathering in July 2035 would mark 50 years since Live Aid through art, music and reflection. Neither is a confirmed event programme here.

Share the setbacks too
