The leader of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova, is on the line up for the Forum of The Future in Porto this November. The umbrella topic is the Ágora Club, enabling participants to go through the influences of Antiquity on contemporary society.

The 2018 edition of this extraordinary event in Porto runs from 4 to 10 November and can be described as an announcement of both mind power enhancement and elevated content.

The festival of thought, as it has been called, enables speakers, participants and visitors to better understand the world today, by addressing ancient times.

Thus, Nadya Tolokonnikova, artist, political activist, cofounder of the Pussy Riot Group, will discuss the idea that Greece is not only home to the schools of philosophy founded by Plato and Aristoteles but also home to a Practical Philosophy that created the "artistic activism".

Along the same lines, Astra Taylor, director of "What is Democracy?" a film whose mission is to bring about change and inspire, based on the geek concept of democracy, will also be at the Forum of the Future.
