The CRITS, a research center on social innovation and transformation and one of INDEP’s partner organizations, is announcing a colloquium in Ottawa on November 6-7, 2025. The title is “Imagining and creating other possible worlds: engaged arts, emergencies, utopias.” They have posted a call for proposals that mentions “Post-capitalist societies” as a potential theme for communications.
Submissions in English or French must be sent by February 15th, 2025.
Here’s an excerpt of their call for proposals:
What forms, practices, methods and materials can be mobilized to imagine and create other possibilities? And what can imagination and creation potentially identify as pitfalls, failures, paths to rehabilitate, or perhaps how to continue the status quo? Secondly, what does the topos of utopia allow or prevent, and how does it interact with different conceptions of transformative imagination and creation?
