Abstract

The present has a strong hold on our consciousness. We find it very hard to envisage beyond the given realities we inhabit; thus, regenerative futures are usually built as an assemblage from the data (images, media, family and friends, etc.) we gain from our contexts. Such futures tend to be “Business as Usual” tweaked with familiar hierarchies, recognizable technologies, and values that do not rock the boat. But deeply regenerative futures need to rock the boat. This activity challenges us to rock the boat by getting people into their bodies and sowing the creative potential to “hack” the dominant narratives that silence alternatives.
