UrbanFutures
Mapping, the design of urban space and monuments are powerful tools in constructing perceived truths, such as to maintain the dominance of the status quo, of history already written, not to be challenged.
In this game you will explore works of art and activism that showcase intersectional sensibilities and strategies for understanding, addressing, and healing urban fault lines, drawing from the radical potential of dreaming.
Feel free to go on a stroll, engage with the multimedia dimension of these works, find those who seem familiar and engage with those that challenge you. This world aims to break free from the rules of the status quo.
This project has been executed as part of the Young Creatives fellowships by the Creative Impact Research Centre Europe.

this is so so so beautiful, wow. a very moving collection of thoughts / images / experiences. there is an air of tragedy in a lot of them, and i found myself incredibly moved by how much hope and love they all contained for the world, for their communities, for themselves and each other. you have presented them all with such grace and radiance -- it frames them beautifully. the way your world shimmers and hums and moves meshes wondrously with the texts; i went to spend forever here. and the music and audio!! this is surely a fault of my own but i hadn't realized you did audio stuff (and i am thinking back to the angelically beautiful sounds of R.E.M., the wonderfully tense textures of Crossing -- i LOVE your sound + music, wow). a stunning work <3
Loved going through this beautiful dream. Amazing collection of artists, I loved how playful it felt going through each installation <3 <3
