New Canterbury Tales

Come explore the future in museum space Next! Your house has its own personality and demands its own name. The trees have a right to speak and complain about drought. A health meter tracks the health of your entire family on a big dashboard, which as an adolescent you are not at all happy with. And we no longer believe in laws and rules; we solve conflicts as a community.

Some of the stories of the project The New Canterbury Tales, which tell a small piece of the daily life of a resident in the fictional city of New Canterbury in 2070. Here you are welcome to join us as we explore life in the future. Meet Jack, Catriona, Mariko and other 2070 residents, participate in workshops and walk in when work is in progress. Admission to museum space Next is free, so step inside 2070!

The New Canterbury Tales started as a research project from the Sustainable Built Environment research group of Avans University of Applied Sciences. The outcomes are not fixed and the project is therefore an exciting research project to explore ideas about the future and who knows, maybe already plant 'seeds' for a liveable future.

Partners of Stedelijk Museum Breda in this project are Avans Hogeschool, Cambridge School of Art, Stichting KOP and game company Zerow. The project was made possible thanks to funding from Click-NL.
