  • Edible speculations: Designing everyday oracles for food futures
    Markéta Dolejšová
    Trouble with Speculation Natures Futures Politics, 2024
    Digital food technologies carry promise for better food futures but they are often problematic in their impact on food cultures. While proponents suggest that food-tech products such as smart kitchenware or diet personalisation services can support efficient food practices, critics highlight various risks. This chapter presents our findings from Edible Speculations, a long-term design research project exploring the contested space of food-tech innovation through a series of speculative design (SD) events situated in everyday public contexts. We illustrate the opportunities and limits of eventful SD in supporting critical engagements with food-tech issues through an Edible Speculations case study called the Parlour of Food Futures. Our discussion of selected Parlour events can inform readers interested in food-tech themes as well as those keen on experimenting with eventful approaches to SD research.

    Ecology and Society, 2024
    There is an urgent need to engage with deep leverage points in sustainability transformations—fundamental myths, paradigms, and systems of meaning making—to open new collective horizons for action. Art and creative practice are uniquely suited to help facilitate change in these deeper transformational leverage points. However, understandings of how creative practices contribute to sustainability transformations are lacking in practice and fragmented across theory and research. This lack of understanding shapes how creative practices are evaluated and therefore funded and supported, limiting their potential for transformative impact. This paper presents the 9 Dimensions tool, created to support reflective and evaluative dialogues about links between creative practice and sustainability transformations. It was developed in a transdisciplinary process between the potential users of this tool: researchers, creative practitioners, policy makers, and funders. It also brings disciplinary perspectives on societal change from evaluation theory, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and more in connection with each other and with sustainability transformations, opening new possibilities for research. The framework consists of three categories of change, and nine dimensions: changing meanings (embodying, learning, and imagining); changing connections (caring, organizing, and inspiring); and changing power (co-creating, empowering, and subverting). We describe how the 9 Dimensions tool was developed, and describe each dimension and the structure of the tool. We report on an application of the 9 Dimensions tool to 20 creative practice projects across the European project Creative Practices for Transformational Futures (CreaTures). We discuss user reflections on the potential and challenges of the tool, and discuss insights gained from the analysis of the 20 projects. Finally, we discuss how the 9 Dimensions can effectively act as a transdisciplinary research agenda bringing creative practice further in contact with transformation research.
  • Messy, entangled, and shapeshifting: Feral Mapping
    Jaz Hee-jeong Choi, Andrea Botero, Markéta Dolejšová, Lachlan Sleight
    International Journal of Cartography, 2024
    This paper introduces the Feral Map, an open online map that brings together different creative practices questioning the dominant extractive, technocentric rendering and legitimising of particular algorithmic futures. Building on its initial development drawn upon open urban tree data, it invites people to explore and engage with their surroundings in creative, unfamiliar ways and share their experiences in the form of stories, using different kinds of media, sensory impressions, and personal expressions. These stories can be offered to existing places and local “creatures” (such as animals, ambiences, and glitches) or become new creatures on their own, emphasising mattering and entanglements: that change is the only constant in life. Through this, the map obscures the currently available – mostly quantitative – data about a place, and can help to raise questions about power, values, and structural inequalities that shape the place and its future. The Feral Map has been evolving to include such stories and creatures – or messy data – from different creative, practice-based research projects. Our paper presents the theoretical framing of the Feral Map and its design, how it has been transforming along with the involved projects, as well as our learnings from the process and possible future directions.
  • Feasting on Participatory Methodologies for Regenerative Food Transitions
    Marketa Dolejsova, Danielle Wilde, Hilary Davis, Ferran Altarriba Bertran
    ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 2022
    Food is key to our lives. It nourishes us, shapes our social interactions and, as a quintessentially more-than-human concern, connects us to other species and the planet. The ways we eat both shape and are shaped by pressing social and environmental challenges that we must attend to if we are to collectively flourish. The purpose of this workshop is to gather researchers who use participatory and co-design (PD) methods, around a hybrid (virtual and real-world) table, to explore how we approach food in our transformational design research and practice aiming to nourish regenerative -socially and ecologically just -futures. In the workshop, we will share, feast on, and digest our methodological practices and approaches, with the objective to enrich each other's work, and co-construct a firmer methodological foundation for participatory food design and research.
  • Open Forest: Data, Stories, and Walking-With
    Marketa Dolejsova, Jaz Hee-jeong Choi, Andrea Botero, Cristina Ampatzidou
    ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 2022
    Open Forest is a collective, experimental inquiry into different forests and more-than-human dataflows. The project explores how forests and forest data can be produced, thought of and engaged with otherwise, in co-creative ways that consider perspectives of diverse forest creatures and reach beyond geo-engineering, techno-solutionist perspectives. In this Situated Action, we build on our previous Open Forest activities organized in different parts of the world and take an experimental, hybrid walk in a local forest area in Newcastle followed by a co-creation of forest stories. Through these engagements, we hope to entangle the existing, mostly quantitative forests datasets with more messy and abstract data to question the currently available understandings about the forest as a resource to be used. Our aim is to support collective imagination and care-full sustainability actions towards flourishing more-than-human futures.
  • Following Seals and Dogs: Experimenting with Personal Dimensions of Transformative Design
    Kirsi Hakio, Markéta Dolejšová, Tuuli Mattelmäki, Jaz Hee-jeong Choi, Cristina Ampatzidou
    ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 2022
    Present eco-social crises call for transformative design practices, which include personal dimensions of transformation and self-reflection. This paper builds on ongoing discussions in participatory design about personal transformation and its impact on broader societal change. The paper presents two reflective accounts on transformative encounters with creative practices, to explore how to better understand and nurture personal transformations in participatory design. The common themes emerging from these accounts point to the importance of noticing small events that might seem subtle or mundane at first, but upon reflection, become critical in contributing to personal transformation. The paper argues that the personal dimension of transformative design plays an important role in fostering eco-social change, and that self-transformation can be nurtured by creating space for spontaneity, letting-go, shifting of perspectives and trusting into emerging elements that unfold beyond our control as designers.

  • Designing for Transformative Futures: Creative Practice, Social Change and Climate Emergency
    Markéta Dolejšová, Cristina Ampatzidou, Lara Houston, Ann Light, Andrea Botero, Jaz Choi, Danielle Wilde, Ferran Altarriba Altarriba Bertran, Hilary Davis, Felipe Gonzales Gonzales Gil, Ruth Catlow
    ACM International Conference Proceeding Series, 2021
    We discuss three cases of transformative creative practice that aim to address large-scale societal issues related to the climate emergency by taking a series of interconnected, small-scale actions. Drawing on our first-hand perspectives, we reflect on how the cases address such issues by proliferating across different social contexts and supporting creative engagements of diverse stakeholders. We offer this empirical reflection at a time of rapid social and ecological change that has affected all life on the planet. Eco-social challenges and structural inequalities caused by shifts in global economic, political and technological power require new approaches and transformative actions to stabilize and restore ecosystems on which life depends. Our research shows that creative practice in art and design has a critical role to play in these processes of transformation. By discussing the opportunities and challenges encountered by our three cases within their transformative efforts and analyzing how they proliferate across diverse scales, we aim to expand the emerging scholarship on the transformative potential of creative practice.
