Co-creating Images of the Future

Maya Van Limput, the UNESCO Chair on Images of the Future and Co-Creation at Erasmus University in Brussels, discusses the importance of co-creating images of the future with heterogeneous groups. She shares an example of a project in the Congo where European and African participants initially focused on their differences but, when artists were added to the mix, they recognized their similarities. Maya emphasizes that co-creation goes beyond just the images themselves, it's about creating spaces for diverse perspectives and fostering polylog, where different voices engage in constructive dialogue without the need for consensus.
