Collaborations

Thinking concretely about times to come is harder and rarer than it should be. This public imagination toolkit, published by Situation Lab and the British Broadcasting Corporation, was designed help make such thinking a bit easier and more common. The Futures Bazaar is a set of instructions and resources to help organisers stage a design jam where people transform everyday objects into unique “artifacts from the future” to provoke, amuse, and inspire one another. Every participant helps imagine and produce these future artifacts, and every artifact tells a story. The kit can be downloaded for free at https://www.bbc.co.uk/gel/features/futures-bazaar-toolkit
