What is the taste of silence? Which colour do you see when you close your eyes? Which sound will for you, in 30 years time, trigger memories of 2016? Which is the future we will build together, and how will the story of our present be told in 2046?
\n<\/p>\n
The futur ant\u00e9rieur (future perfect) tense in French is used to express a future action or event that will be completed before another future action or to describe a future action or event that will have been completed in the future: j\u2019aurai vu (I will have seen), j’aurai quitt\u00e9 (I will have left)….<\/p>\n
The workshop FUTUR ANT\u00c9RIEUR by Nine Yamamoto-Masson (of the Bureau for New Futures) is an exercise in imagining a future using experimental techniques and simultaneously discussing the political potential of creative imagination to turn into concrete action towards equity and social justice beyond mere descriptive self-referential discourse-production. It is an exercise in future-making. <\/p>\n
With a multi-stop trajectory of texts, screenings, discussion and several creative exercises (some of them hands-on with paper, others more based in creative writing), the workshop aims to activate, deploy and correlate the participants\u2019 imagination, experience and individual sensibilities.<\/p>\n
The session itself will be based on an assemblage (Deleuze) or a tool-kit (Ballard) of various texts: short articles, quotes, short videos, poems, excerpts of short stories, objects and participants\u2019 own texts around the themes of migration, liminality (in-betweenness, not fitting in, neither here nor there), marginalisation, labor, unlearning, everyday resistance, creative expression, solidarity… <\/p>\n
Together, we will use a d\u00e9rive (Debord\/Situationists Internationale) approach of and through these texts and trace the resonances between them using decolonial and intersectional feminist methodologies as well as aesthetic strategies borrowed from speculative fiction and post-futurism. <\/p>\n
Several short video pieces will be screened:
\n\u2013 The Secret Keeper (2014) by Thembani Mdluli (Canada \/ South Africa), Digitised Intermedia Installation 05:13
\n\u2013 Grada Kilomba: Dealing with Racism in Europe (youtube clip of an interview) 05:17
