| | === Prelude === |
| |
| | In response to the liminality brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, FoAM Filfla https://fo.am/studios/filfla/ started a self-study of tools and techniques for creative exploration of futures. We wish to develop our futuring skills and encourage an engaged re-imagining of possible futures in liminal times. |
| |
| === Prelude === | Liminality is a state in between – or in transition – from one state to another. It can be period of transformation, yet also of disorientation, waiting and indecision. Old habits, identities and beliefs begin to disintegrate in liminal states, making space for something new. The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown many of us into a liminal state with no clear path forward. Multiple futures are almost within our grasp, but discussing or otherwise engaging with these futures can be overwhelming. |

| == In response to the liminality brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, FoAM Filfla started a self-study of tools and techniques for creative exploration of futures. We wish to develop our futuring skills and encourage an engaged re-imagining of possible futures in liminal times. == | We are interested in futuring as a creative process, capable of restoring a sense of agency and possibility. We explore imaginative approaches to futures by combining tools from Futures studies, hosting and process facilitation, performing arts, visual art, design and storytelling, among others. We use collaborative action research methods to learn about futuring in the fields of arts and design and Appreciative Inquiry to build on what is already working well. In conversation with our mentors, futurists and designers, we collect and experiment with future-probing methods. We are particularly keen to learn, develop and document tools that can be adapted to online workshops with teens, young adults and culture makers. |
