Let us imagine a place where… Exploring sites of collective imagination

The settings of future projections themselves can display various meanings pertaining to place or locality, existing or imagined, but also by the ways in which participants orient and position themselves (Maze, 2014). In my presentation, I propose to discuss these sites of dialogue which encourage ‘acts of imagination’ about the distant future using different tools like images, mapping, and verse to explore the way in which practices of design and creativity open-up spaces for experimentation and a sense of place to expand the remit of imagined future possibilities.
