This short film documents a series of artist-led local workshops, which took place at Category Is Books. Participants were encouraged to collectively imagine a world led by women, where earthlings had adopted a feminist abundance mind-set. In a shared vision of post-work society, they explored moving beyond scarcity to collectively organise planetary and people care through feminist economic principles. The Planet Abundance project took Teresa Feldmann's draft text for a feminist science fiction as a starting point for collaboratively imagining a world beyond capitalism, using speculative science fiction as a vehicle for radical political imagination. The work was commissioned by Feminist Exchange Network (Glasgow) and curated by artistic director Ailie Rutherford.
