Living Imaginaries
Fusing the grounded and the visionary to reshape how we relate, govern, and live.
Living Imaginaries combines creative re-imagination with practical pathways for structural change. Through research, co-design, exhibitions, strategic advising, and policy engagement, we support the development and implementation of alternatives that challenge dominant paradigms and open space for more just, caring, and connected ways of living.
Imagination, for us, is not naïve — it’s a method.
Our approach bridges arts and sciences, and policy and practice.
Based between Europe and Asia, we create space for grounded dialogue across diverse ways of knowing and making — learning from places where alternatives are already alive and building coalitions to translate these insights across contexts.

Our Work
We connect artists, scientists, policymakers, and communities to co-create responses that are imaginative, grounded, and tailored to place — bridging the arts and sciences, policy and practice.
Bridging disciplines & sectors
Shifting systems & narratives
We address climate, biodiversity, health, and justice as interconnected issues — working to transform the underlying structures and cultural imaginaries that sustain them.
Making imagination strategic
We use imagination as a method — combining research, co-design, exhibitions, and policy advising to craft practical pathways toward more relational, just, and equitable futures.
Marine governance
Collaborating with the Embassy of the North Sea and Dark Matter Labs to re-imagine marine governance — centering more-than-human perspectives across legal, ecological, economic and cultural dimensions.
Food systems
Advising the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and Wageningen University on how biodiversity is envisioned in food systems transformations — informing policy strategies.
One Health
Working with the UCL Warning Research Centre to address the upstream drivers of health risks.
Let’s re-imagine together.
Connect with us to co-create futures that honour interdependence — among people, planet, and all forms of life.
