Presenting accounts from artists and designers, this book explores how we can transform our societies to greet uncertain futures with greater readiness and care through immersive, creative experiences.

Crossing performance, theatre, games, sociodrama, participatory design, socially-engaged art, live action role-play, eco-social commitments and more-than-human philosophies, this edited volume examines common processes by which transformations in culture may be kick-started or confirmed, revealing disciplinary differences, but united by an interest in the meeting of prefigurative politics, participatory method, immersive structure and care-based ethos. Readers will take away insights into conducting work that makes a documented difference, at a tier between the individual and society and looking past current failures of imagination to worlds beyond the (post)industrial ruins. Fourteen chapters, including one dedicated to participatory evaluation, describe practices of change-making from across Europe and beyond, offering inspiration and technique in tackling interrelated ecological, cultural and existential challenges at a time when trends doubling down on extraction and consumerism are clearly doomed.
