The Futures Bazaar!
Thinking concretely about times and worlds to come is harder and rarer than it should be
Expand horizons, explore new ideas, transform everyday objects into things from the #future

"The Futures Bazaar" was recently published by the BBC and the Situation Lab. Co-created by @futuryst, Futures Bazaar is a turnkey framework that invites people to take junk items and collaboratively transform them into artifacts from the future. buff.ly/3GJWbez

"a Futures Bazaar is a design jam or creative gathering, where people bring in “junk” items from home, and transform them into unique “artefacts from the future”, to provoke, amuse, and inspire one another" by @FilippoCuttica and @futuryst bbc.co.uk/gel/features/futur…

We just started the #Futures #Design course by playing The Thing From The Future*. I’m looking forward to see what #FutureThing each student brings next week. #anticipation ✨
*We used Miro and paper (ask me how)

What a fun workshop-in-a-box from @futuryst and the team at @sitlab! Pick a future, imagine what it's like, make a thing that you might find there, and sell it at the bazaar. Such a great way to bring out a group's spirit of creativity and exploration. bbc.co.uk/gel/features/futur…

So our game #FutureThing made an usual appearance at the #DubaiFutureForum gala dinner — 250 guests, with a Thing From The Future card secretly stashed under each bread plate 🙌 #FoodFutures

@futuryst launched a project w/ @mthomps of the @nytimes on how to systematically improve “covering futures” to foster better journalism, increase public trust in news orgs & expand representation of marginalized voices—one of his numerous projects.

I unleashed @sitlab #FutureThing cards on my carpool of teens yesterday and the result was the most entertaining device-free ride in a while. The scary plaything related to memory is seared into my brain and may become a future horror film. Thanks @futuryst for the pack!
ALT A box of The Thing from the Future playing cards and three stacks of cards reading “In a RECOVERING future there is a MONUMENT related to ANIMALS - what is it?”
ALT Three cards reading “In a FEMINIST future there is a TATTOO related to THE ENVIRONMENT - what is it?”
ALT Three cards reading “In a SCARY future there is a PLAYTHING related to MEMORY - what is it?”

I asked a group of 6 year olds "Invent a new Olympic sport"
