Exploring connections between cultural forms can reveal surprising parallels. Over the past decade, artists worldwide have increasingly drawn from science fiction to generate ideas, reframe contexts, and rethink creativity. One key technique borrowed from sci-fi is worldbuilding—the imaginative reconfiguration of social relationships and speculation on alternative presents and futures. This talk examines worldbuilding as a creative strategy, highlighting examples from my own recent work and artists from diverse backgrounds.
