ABOUT
IMAGINE: Embracing Chaos and Possibility in a Planetary Emergency
How might collective imagination become a practice of planetary repair?
An exploration of creativity in times of crisis.
Amid accelerating ecological and social uncertainty, how might we reclaim imagination as a practice of entanglement, care, and collective repair?
This intimate provocation brings together contributors from “IMAGINE”, a global anthology weaving together the voices of artists, designers, and systems thinkers navigating the complexity of entangled social and environmental movements. Rather than offering easy solutions, this immersive exploration reframes imagination not as escape, but as engagement with our ecological and social uncertainty.
The experience unfolds through guided provocations and conversations that bridge individual reflection with collective sensing. Participants will explore how creativity intersects with ecological intelligence, how design can hold uncertainty as fertile ground, and what emerges when participants sense together into possibility rather than paralysis.
This event is a living extension of the book’s ethos: an invitation to pause, to feel into complexity, and explore how imagination can anchor creative practice in regenerative possibility.
