It Happened Tomorrow

Description

It Happened Tomorrow is a series of workshops to imagine future ways of living with a changing climate and rising sea levels, repurposing archival materials, and utilizing drawing and generative AI to support participatory storytelling. Since its launch in 2022, the workshop has taken place in the Netherlands, Italy, and Portugal, involving 77 participants from diverse backgrounds (from policymakers and researchers to poets and art students) to collectively imagine speculative futures.

For this occasion, the workshop will be tailored to explore how we can imagine climate-altered urban futures, opening a space to think through social justice, displacement, ecological risk, and community resilience in cities affected by environmental changes. Rather than producing fixed predictions, the workshop employs fiction as a tool for surfacing ambiguity and plural perspectives, contributing to the imagining of inclusive and sustainable urban futures, while acknowledging, remixing, and possibly repairing stories from archival collections.
