We Should All Be Dreaming – Soft Gatherings

On this link you can see recordings of the first part of the event.

We invite you to a day of dreaming of possible futures. How to dream of futures that we don’t know yet how to dream of? The day consists of two parts. The program starts with an afternoon miniseminar with the theme intersectional feminist horizons. We will discuss questions around the vitality of speculation, intersectional practices as well as future horizons.
