A hands-on introduction to collaborative futures practice workshop, using parts of the sculpture park at Wanås as points of inspiration. The future is not a fact. The only thing certain about the future is that there will be one, though what part we play in it remains to be seen. Our purpose, here in the present, is to; play with the possibilities; poke and prod at connections and creations; make sense and shape stories about the things that could happen; and decide on the next steps we might take in order to make more appealing futures contexts arrive. This workshop offers a hands-on introduction to collaborative futures practice, where participants work with selected signals from areas such as technology, the environment, the economy, politics, and values; create scenarios through creative writing formats; and use parts of the sculpture park at Wanås Konst as points of inspiration to situate and embody possible futures. Earlier the same day, John will give a lecture exploring the theme of “Imaginaries and abundance” and how our (almost) inexhaustible capacity to create new combinations of ideas, metaphors, and mental models connects to foresight, creative production, and innovation. Read more about the lecture and how to sign up for it here. This workshop is carried out in collaboration with Wanås Konst. From May 9 they are presenting the exhibition Fortune and Abundance by Chiachio & Giannone, an Argentine artist duo who are partners both in life and art. They have both been trained as painters but have been working with textiles and different techniques creating intricate and complex motives and designs that are equally appealing for their artistic quality and as for their social commentary.
