We Dream in Futures: Another World is Possible Opening Symposium
We live in a time suspended between crisis and potential, where the stories we inherit are colliding with the futures we long for. We Dream in Futures gathers artists, futurists, designers, worldbuilders and storytellers to ask: what kind of world do we desire, and how do we imagine our way toward it?
Across lectures, lightning talks and panels, we explore the transformative power of narrative to question the present, shift perspectives and dream up futures that are alive with possibility. Drawing on diverse disciplines and lived experiences, this symposium honours storytelling as a radical act of futurity — one that invites vision, and also agency. Whether through design, fiction, memory or myth, the voices gathered in this programme show us that not only is another world possible, it is already being seeded through the stories we choose to tell.
We invite you to imagine it together, and dream alongside us.
Speakers include Liam Young (speculative architect and director), Honor Harger (Vice President of Attractions and ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands), Kelly Tan (Acting Director, Industry at DesignSingapore Council), Darius Ou (art director and designer), Torlarp Larpjaroensook (artist), Joshua Lau (Assistant Curator at ArtScience Museum), and more.
