The Bigger Picture is a creative series of activities and events beginning in autumn 2009 and curated by nef (the new economics foundation) in response to current crises.

We know that we’re living in a period of converging crises: there’s little doubt that we face a daunting array of social, economic, politcal and environmental challenges. But we don’t always see how inter-related these challenges are, nor the solutions which them into opportunities for positive change. That’s why, with the climate clock ticking, nef and a range of partner organisations are staging a series of events and activities this autumn under the banner The Bigger Picture.

We’ll be hosting discussions, actions and exhibitions, ending with a major Festival of Interdependence in London on October 24th 2009. The festival will bring together artists, thinkers, activists and you for a day of learning, making, celebrating and debating, about how we can start the Great Transition to a new economy.Best of all, the festival will be completely free.

The Bigger Picture wouldn’t be possible without the help of our supporters. Help us cover our costs and keep working towards a new economy which cares for people and the planet by making a donation or by joining nef today.
