The Future-Dreaming Ritual

Hosted by polymath artist Pierre-Christophe Gam, the “future-dreaming” ritual invites us to collectively envision the future.

Woven around the Five Pillars of IFA — an ancient divination system from West Africa — the two-hour ritual explores the possibilities of how we could Eat, Play, Dream, Pray, and Love in an ideal future. It serves as a powerful catalyst for breaking free from the constraints of our present reality, encouraging us to imagine a world shaped around our innermost desires.

    Der vielseitige Künstler und Forscher Pierre-Christophe Gam bewegt sich mit seiner Arbeit an der Schnittstelle von Kunst, Technologie und Zukunftsschau.
    Ausgebildet an der ENSAD in Paris und am CSM in London, entwirft er Geschichten, die auf alten, im vorkolonialen Erbe Afrikas verwurzelten Mythen basieren, und erweckt sie durch interaktive, physische und virtuelle Räume zum Leben, um die Grenzen unserer Vorstellungskraft zu erweitern.
    Seine Arbeiten wurden unter anderem im Guggenheim Museum Bilbao und im Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein gezeigt.
