“World-building through techno-scientific creative practice: a case study of workshops as material discursive curatorial tools” presented by Palankasova

• Bilyana Palankasova

This article frames workshops as material discursive curatorial methods drawing on ideas from new media discourses and materialist feminism. It takes as a case study a series of speculative world-building workshops by artists and physicist Libby Heaney delivered to three groups of participants: young people, scientists and artists, drawing on examples from the last one. The workshops were commissioned as a material discursive form to unpack the artist’s practice and invite audiences to workshop ideas and themes within it. The outcomes demonstrate the capacity of workshop methods in the context of transdisciplinary technoscientific artistic practices for futuring, speculation and world-building with emerging technologies while generating discourse.
