Imagining Possible Futures
Join the Distributed AI Research (DAIR) Institute in re-imagining the future.
Imagine alternative technofutures with us in this free, in-person zine-making workshop. Come write, draw, collage, and chat with us!
In this 2-hour workshop, we'll be doing different exercises designed to help us all connect and stretch our future-making muscles together.
At the end, you can contribute anything you make to a collaborative zine. For examples of zines we've made in past, check out DAIR's zine library.
About the Imagining Possible Futures Series
Through our blog series, we are exploring what the world can look like when technology is designed and deployed for the benefit of all. These broad, near-future speculative pieces are designed to de-center dominant narratives and challenge us all to realize that things can be different. These are not alternative realities; they are possible futures.
