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.

A polymath artist and researcher, Pierre-Christophe Gam’s practice sits at the intersection of art, technology, and foresight.
Trained at ENSAD in Paris and at CSM in London, he crafts stories that draw from ancient myths rooted in Africa’s pre-colonial heritage, bringing them to life through interactive, physical and virtual spaces to expand the limit of our imagination.
His work has been shown at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein among others.
