Learning objectives
Transitioning to sustainability means abandoning the need to pursue an engineered, controlled, and predictable future. It means embracing the unknowns to propose some seeds for a paradigmatic change. In this workshop, participants are invited to collaboratively explore possible relations between images, objects, fiction, culture, and systems to spark imagination and envision what values could guide us towards concrete strategies and transitions towards sustainable futures in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
-Fashion Futuring summons design imaginaries and all the diverse forms of culture that can be decoded through fictional objects and abstract constructs to identify values to guide us towards liveable and ecological futures; -Imagination to future fashion trends
