Future Ritual  works to support the emergence of new and more attuned cultures by collaborating with artists to create  contemporary expressions of ritual.

Established and led by Joseph Morgan Schofield, Future Ritual fosters spaces of sensitivity and attunement in which to think and feel through ideas of land, desire, belief, mystery and death. Since 2017, we have intentionally shifted shape between iterations, temporarily activating and inhabiting borrowed spaces, organising curatorial programmes and pedagogical exchanges, generating artist-driven research, and collaborating as a creative producers with a constellation of  artists and practitioners.

A key partner is VSSL studio, a place of gathering and curation, co-run by Joseph Morgan Schofield and Benjamin Sebastian in Deptford (London). Curatorial partners to date have included: Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), Venice International Performance Art Week, ]performance s p a c e[, Kunstraum, Live Art Development Agency, Chisenhale Dance Space, Arnolfini, Hackney Showroom, Centre for Live Art Yorkshire, VFD and SPACE studios. We have produced work at Whitechapel Gallery, ICA (London), Norfolk and Norwich Festival and Tate Britain.

We are a non-profit organisation based in London (UK). We always welcome new connections with artists and organisers who find a resonance with our work. You can reach us via email: producing@futureritual.co.uk.
