Through a series of wayfaring tasks, participants assume the roles of cyber-voyagers, archaeologists of collective memories, scribes for possible futures, techno-folklorists, or something in-between. The objective of the journey is to unfurl possible and future mythologies, with resulting works  as artefacts from these mirrored worlds.



Free to attend, dreaming encouraged and no prior myth-building experience required.



Travellers may book through Eventbrite, and will receive a link to join a webinar platform prior to the event.
