The British author, activist and social entrepreneur Dougald Hine writes, speaks, brings together conversations which often turn into projects. He is co-author of Uncivilisation: The Dark Mountain Manifesto (2009) which grew into The Dark Mountain Project, an international network of writers, artists and thinkers who have stopped believing the stories our civilisation tells itself. They see that the world is entering an age of ecological collapse, material contraction and social and political unravelling, and they want our cultural responses to reflect this reality rather than denying it. Dougald Hine is also founder of the utopian regeneration agency Spacemakers, author of The Crossing of Two Lines (2012) and leader of artistic development at Riksteatern, Sweden's touring national theatre. In 2011, Dougald Hine was named one of Britain's 50 top radicals by NESTA.

The Knight's Move
Survey The Knight's Move 2009-present
Over the past five years Stroom Den Haag has organized The Knight's Move: a series of lectures by leading,
inspiring and occasionally radical international guests. Great talks for everyone who is interested in the future of the city and the future of The Hague. Enlightening, unsettling and inspiring. For the 2015-2016 season Stroom djoins forces with The Hague International Center for Civic Hacks, het Nationale Toneel & Babel, Leiden University and LAPS Amsterdam to widen, sharpen en deepen the way we talk about the city. And to create a place where enthusiastic and curious urban 'doers and thinkers' meet. Between October 2015 and December 2016.
The Knight's Move is made possible in part by the Mondriaan Fund, Creative Industries Fund NL, Haagse Bluf Fonds (via Prins Bernard Cultuurfonds) and The City of The Hague.
