We are Anima Futura, a collective of designers, researchers, and storytellers. We explore the power of design and communication to create (im)possible futures.
And make no mistake, we mean futures, not future. We don't believe in a single road but in multiple paths, solutions, and collaboration. We believe in futures where both humans and non-humans can thrive. It might seem impossible until we start visualizing them.
In the midst of our unprecedented climate and ecological crisis, Anima Futura wants to harness the power of design and communication to visualize and communicate complex ideas and concepts that can spark conversations, inspire action, and drive change.
