 that followed are organized in support of hegemonic political and instrume

 r>Future Energy was the theme of Astana Expo that was held in the new capi
 tal of Kazakhstan in 2017. This mega event attracted 115 countries\, many 
 of which invested significant resources in presenting their visions and pa
 thways towards sustainable energy production for human use to Kazakhstan’s
  and international public. This talk is about the performance of national 
 imaginaries at the Astana Expo where energy futures materialized in the fo
 rm of hydrogen powered vehicles\, nuclear reactors on Earth and in orbit\,
  Tokamaks\, smart cities\, living facades\, vertical gardens growing bioma
 ss energy\, and happy humans inhabiting a socially just future world. Scho
 lars from different disciplines have argued that technoscientific and poli
 tical orders are intimately connected and co-produced. This co-production 
 as played out at the Astana Expo – highlighting debates about who gets to 
 imagine energy future and how narratives of technological disasters and br
 eakthroughs\, and political decisions that followed are organized in suppo
 rt of hegemonic political and instrumental orders in Kazakhstan and elsewh
 ere in the world. </p>
