Post Growth Project
This project aimed to challenge the common-sense that assumes that it is ‘bad news’ when the economy doesn’t grow and to anatomise what it is about the structure of our economic system that means growth must always be prioritised. We wanted to set out an attractive, attainable vision of what one country would look like, once we deliberately gave up growth-mania – and show to get there. This project looked at finding ways of communicating this to people that make sense, and that motivate change.
