The What If Garden – A Field Guide to Radical Imagination

It is often said that we need more 'radical imagination' to challenge the status quo and envision societies otherwise. But what does that really mean? How might it be nurtured? And what role can approaches at the intersection of art and science play? The What If Garden (TWIG) invites you on a journey into radical imagination. Take a walk. Be inspired. Wander, and let your imagination unfold in movement. Question what is—and what could be. TWIG is a zine designed by Ekaterina Volkova that captures insights from a five-day workshop organized by Lisette van Beek (Lund University), Johannes Stripple (Lund University), Mark Westmoreland (Leiden University), Josephine Chambers (Utrecht University) and Ekaterina Volkova (independent). https://www.lorentzcenter.nl/unlocking-the-imagination-art-science-for-radical-transformation.html The workshop brought together 20 (artist-)researchers, curators, and independent artists. Together, we explored how initiatives at the art–science interface can flourish and foster radical imagination for transformative change.
