The Futurological Congress proposes a set of processes and entanglements for thinking about futures. It is itinerant, always situated and always nomadic, it responds to local specifics vis a vis a wider context, with the aim to examine the particular present that we are gathered into, and hold site specific conversations where we speculate, and propose narratives and models that can lead to workable and livable collective projects.
