Together with Digital Society School’s Mick Jongeling we founded Speculative Future Amsterdam, a local chapter of the global platform Speculative Futures.

Speculative Futures is an international community of meetups focused on Speculative & Critical Design, Design Fiction, Futurism, and Strategy & Foresight and any vision or approach which involves using design as a vehicle to speculate about potential or alternate futures. Speculative Futures is an effort steered by the Design Futures Initiative.

We host speakers — practitioners, teachers, students, and other professionals who will be talking about relevant praxis and methods. We also host workshops which will allow you to learn how to conduct and apply futures thinking in a variety of circumstances as a method of synthesis and strategy.

Furthermore Mick and I will dive into the world of speculative design, fictional world building, design fiction and all other forms of discursive design for a design sociological point of view.

Our first meetup will be an introduction to Speculative Futures Amsterdam.

Stay tuned.
