What We Do
Futures Imagined works across eight interconnected areas of practice, from curatorial production to strategic counsel.
01
Curatorial and Programme Development
Futures Imagined develops and produces exhibitions, festivals, public programmes, conferences, and events. Over 25 years, Honor has produced more than 80 large-scale exhibitions and hundreds of public programmes across Europe, Asia, and beyond. She brings the same intellectual seriousness to a symposium as to a 3,000 square metre exhibition, and the same instinct for public experience to both.
Futures Imagined offers this practice to organisations seeking someone who can conceive, develop, and deliver ambitious cultural work from first idea through to public encounter.
02
Institutional Design and Development
Futures Imagined works with organisations commissioning new cultural institutions or transforming existing ones. Honor has built cultural institutions and led them — defining ArtScience Museum's international identity, shaping Lighthouse as a connector across Brighton's creative ecology, and establishing AV Festival as an independent charitable organisation.
The studio works with boards, developers, cities, governments, and corporations creating or transforming cultural, educational, and scientific organisations.
03
Leadership and Strategy
Futures Imagined offers strategic counsel that bridges cultural vision and commercial reality. With 25 years of executive leadership across major cultural institutions and 12 years operating within one of the world's leading integrated resorts, Honor understands what it takes to build organisations that are artistically serious and commercially sustainable.
Futures Imagined works with cultural organisations, corporations, developers, and city-makers who need a strategic partner with deep experience on both sides of the cultural and commercial equation.
04
Public Speaking
Futures Imagined offers keynote speaking and thought leadership drawing on more than sixty talks across four continents. Honor has spoken on some of the world's most demanding stages — from TED, where her talks have been watched by over 1.5 million people, to CERN, the Dubai Future Forum, the World Culture Summit, and the Innovative City Forum.
Topics include the future of cultural institutions, art and science, artificial intelligence, futures thinking, and the role of creativity in addressing planetary change. Available for keynotes, panel appearances, and long-term thought leadership partnerships.
05
Futures Literacy
Futures thinking is the DNA of Futures Imagined. Honor brings to this work a curatorial practice built around experiential futures — producing landmark exhibitions including 2219: Futures Imagined and Another World Is Possible, which demonstrated how cultural institutions can make abstract futures tangible, emotionally resonant, and publicly transformative.
The studio is available to work with governments, cities, and institutions on futures-oriented exhibitions, programmes, and strategic practice.
06
Science Communication
Futures Imagined works at the interface between scientific communities and cultural organisations, helping each engage seriously with the other. The studio makes complex scientific ideas accessible, emotionally resonant, and publicly transformative — working with artists, filmmakers, and writers to find the human dimensions of subjects as demanding as quantum electrodynamics, climate change, and cosmology.
Futures Imagined helps science institutions reach broader audiences and cultural institutions engage with scientific ideas at the depth they deserve.
07
Writing and Publication
Futures Imagined produces original writing and research spanning long-form essays, academic publications, catalogue texts, and policy papers. Honor's published work includes essays on cosmology, AI, ecological imagination, futures thinking, and the cultural dimensions of science — including a chapter in the first academic anthology on futures thinking in museums, published by Routledge, and a policy vision paper on quantum science and culture submitted to UNESCO.
The studio is available for commissioned writing, research publications, and editorial collaborations with cultural organisations, research bodies, and publishers.
08
Boards and Advisory Councils
Futures Imagined is available for board membership, committee roles, and jury work across the arts, science, and culture sectors. Honor has spent 25 years building and serving governance structures at every level — running ArtScience Museum's international advisory board for 12 years, establishing the AV Festival board, and running the Lighthouse board as a registered charity.
She currently sits on the National Library Board of Singapore, the selection committee for the Singapore Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and the programme committee of the Future-Oriented Museums Network. The studio works with organisations seeking to develop and strengthen their governance structures.
