Join writer and producer Maria Leonard for an interactive workshop using co-creation, creative writing and shared discussion on the plural trajectories for care, work and technology.

Through the course of the evening, we will look at the relationship between climate justice and other forms of ‘futures literacy’, or ways of better understanding the role the future plays in what we see and do, such as pluriversal politics, acts of imagination and future forms of governance.

Building on the research produced by the Invented Futures collective, the session will introduce the concepts of worlding and the commons, organising practices, emerging debates around living with technology and the urgent questions around living together.

By centering the potential of imagination and the notion of ‘plural futures’, we will challenge, question and develop participants’ notion of what makes a future, the kinds of people-led organising it takes to meet the demands of current future trajectories, and the imaginative responses that we need going forward.

“Reinvention is possible. Building is possible. What tools have we to build with except hammers, nails, saws - education, learning to think, learning skills? Are there tools that have not yet been invented?” Ursula K. Le Guin
