Workshop: Mapping Futures
The Mapping Futures workshop invites participants to reflect, share experiences, and co-create maps to different futures.
Mars is depicted as a potent bringer of violence and destruction. Many among us have also experienced the actual pains and traumas of migration, displacement, escape from unbearable circumstances…
Still, there will always be futures beyond warfare.
How do we understand our true needs – and how can they be fulfilled in times of turmoil?
Which values are worth building a future upon?
How could new paths be found when the old ways are lost?
The Mapping Futures workshop invites participants to reflect, share experiences, and co-create on this theme. We’ll use mapmaking as a working format, along with movement and listening. And – since play is a very serious business – the workshop will stay open for playfulness, too.
