History Of A Future is a community project hosted by artist Nicholas Sanderson. This project homes in on the archaeological culture of The Beaker People named after the ceramic vessels buried with the folk of that period (2800–1800 BC). The beaker phenomenon first appeared in Iberia then across mainland Europe, its people bringing new technological advances where they settle. 

The focus within the workshops will be based around recreating the ceramic artefacts of the ‘Beaker culture’. Collaborating with the London refugee and migrant charities the aim is to rebirth the Beaker culture into a current context. Historically, if done humanely, migration has only improved our society bringing in new culture, arts and ideas, the beaker folk exemplify this ideal. As Britain continues to isolate itself these ceramic beakers symbolise a hope for a freer, more liberal and less restricted future. The public recreating these anachronisms will act as a stance against Britain’s strictures on migration and the closure of boarders.
