Participants will explore speculative thinking through collaborative imagining and making, conjuring up parallel worlds and realising alternative artefacts, re-imagined policies, fictional rituals or substitute sounds... what does your world contain? how does your world work? The lab will culminate in sharing small group work and reflections for moving forward.
Join us in experimenting with possibility and creating collaborative futures.
For PGRs by PGRs: this lab is aimed at Doctoral Researchers and Post-Graduate Research Students across UCL & its partners. We are particularly interested in a diversity of thinking and identity - we welcome participants from a range of contexts and with experiences from around the globe.
