The Imaginary Institute will facilitate play-driven sessions that invite participants to fabulate possible futures for academic research in and through the arts. These sessions explore creation as a systemic, collective process that challenges existing paradigms of knowledge production. Together, we will experiment with, and embody, how artistic research can unfold as a living ecology of practices, connecting art, science, play, and other ways of knowing. Each session will unfold through the collective imagination of the participants, structured by and through the co-creation of collective intelligence protocols.
The Imaginary Institute is an ongoing transdisciplinary project in artistic research, art-science, and collective imagination, curated by theatre director Orion Maxted and dramaturg Loretta Mesiti at the Centre Leo Apostel (VUB).
From Experience: the Arts PhD in practice is a two-day conference on art-based research organised by Vrije Universiteit Brussel/ Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel/ RITCS School of Arts, University of Warwick, University of Stellenbosch, University of Gothenburg. All universities are part of the Eutopia network.
