What to expect:
Drawing on Suzanne Treister’s residency at CERN, where she collaborated with scientists to imagine future technologies, this session is inspired by Scientific Dreaming (2022) and AI Quantum Dreaming (2025), inviting participants to explore speculative futures and their impact on local environments.
Using writing, diagramming and walking tours as prompts, you’ll develop ideas for sculptural monuments and markers dedicated to positive futures across Oxford.
This Studio Session is part of our After Hours programme.

This is a relaxed, social session to explore a new perspective on creative writing. We will be learning the unique writing process developed by Suzanne Treister during her residency at CERN, where she was collaborating with scientists to explore imaginary technological developments of the future. We will be following this process, imagining future public monuments and statues, and developing tour-guide style writing and audio recordings of these dreamed futures.
