About the book

Given the impossibility of holding the 2020 edition due to challenges posed by the pandemic, Fórum do Futuro 2020 took the form of a book – “Fórum do Futuro: Vita Nova” – that proposes to discuss human and non-human existence in the current social context, from the perspective of different cosmogonic principles.

Co-published with the Berlin-based publisher BOM DIA BOA TARDE BOA NOITE, the book consists of four thematic sections that combine different artistic, scientific, philosophical and technological perspectives in written and visual essays, stories and interviews.
