Tools For After, a Festival of Ideas, is a six-week festival across multiple venues in Melbourne celebrating Italian ingenuity and focusing on exploring innovative solutions to the critical challenges due to the significant impact of human activities on the Earth's ecosystems and geology. The festival asks the question, what are the tools we will need to face the future?

Presented by the Italian Cultural Institute of Melbourne, Tools For After features interdisciplinary “tools” drawn from Italian creativity, which can be applied to promote the growth of a more sustainable future. The festival will encompass design, architecture, science, food, cinema, and literature, through the mediums of film, visual art, design, workshops, talks, and tastings.
