Design for Better Futures

A discussion forum and collaborative workshop that invites collective speculation of near futures.

The project proposes the creation of a discussion forum, a public distribution program and a space for debate and friction around narratives for the near future. The forum will involve a group of relevant speakers and players within contemporary trends of design and spatial, territorial, feminist and ecological thinking, and will promote a calendar of public presentations.

To close the program, the collaborative workshop Mapeando Futuros Próximos, based on the game The Quiet Year, will serve as a space for collective speculation about the possible paths after a civilizational collapse. Straddling fiction theory, playful thinking, role plays and shared drawing, we will collectively think about spatial constructions, social relations, material politics, and design culture of a near present, but yet-to-come.
