NEW SOCIETY seeks to reimagine the way we think about power. Who inherits it, who takes it and who we give it to.

Created in conversation and consultation with 50 strangers, NEW SOCIETY is a broken manifesto for a more hopeful future - for tomorrow, for next week, for next year, for now!

In the collection of statements will sit contradictions, warnings, something that might help us examine and question our beliefs and values.

What is wrong? What could be better? How can we fix it? Do we want to?

Your ideas will be transformed into a poster series taking over outdoor spaces across Knowsley. Visit new-society.co.uk to get involved.
