Rehearsing the Future Through DesignExit Strategies: Rehearsing the Future Through Design explores the intersection of movement research, and formgiving, through seven workshops, a publication and a public performance in 2026.
The project examines how design, viewed through the lens of queer temporality, can challenge linear narratives of progress and justice by framing the present as a site of rehearsal for equitable futures. It proposes that creative and political practices are interconnected processes that, when embraced daily, empower us to imagine and shape alternative futures beyond the constraints of the present.
