ABOUT

EAST2046 is a future-facing cultural festival that explores the intersection of technology, art, and diasporic imagination through co-creation.Rooted in the lived experiences of East and Southeast Asian communities, the festival brings together artists, technologists, researchers, and collectives to co-build a decentralised cultural network across cities, communities, and public space.
​
Taking place in London in August 2025, EAST2046 features immersive installations, performances, digital rituals, talks, markets, and experimental labs across a main venue and multiple satellite sites led by local migrant communities. These decentralised nodes form an evolving, non-hierarchical cultural infrastructure—one that challenges dominant narratives by foregrounding alternative futures shaped by community collaboration.
​
The festival is powered by a co-creation economy. EAST2046 blurs the lines between organiser and audience, making space for shared authorship, collective memory, and new models of value rooted in creativity and care.
EAST2046 is not just an event. It is a protocol for future culture—community-powered, socially conscious, and creatively decentralised.
