Overview
This session establishes and shares future-making as a collective practice.
An Introduction to Speculative Design as an emerging tool for innovation and a participatory workshop with Signs of Change is inviting local innovation networks, researchers and public servants to ideate means of leading from the Future.
The Future prototype Signs of Change explores emerging climate risks both globally and within the hyper-localised Singapore daily context. It employs the language of public signage to explore possible social, political, and economic shifts and future policies that could become our new lived reality. The tangible experience - a collection of signs installed in space - and the workshop developed around the signs provoke creative responses to concrete climate change disruption and help governments, businesses, startups, and the public to inform the development of strategic climate innovations and spark action.
