This situated action and generative installation invites participatory designers and community members to explore pluriversality and futuring through the mediums of collage and bricolage. Tasked with crafting a conceptual 'pluriversal place', participants are invited to confront biases and limitations ingrained within futuring practices, thereby challenging the dominance of singular worldviews in shaping future narratives. Immersed in the tactile process of mixed media collage/bricolage-making, participants navigate the intricate layers of futuring and defuturing, cultivating a deeper, more nuanced understanding of plural futures and their inherent complexities. This action looks to explore the emerging discourse on pluriversality within academic spheres, seeking to bridge theoretical insights with practical applications, particularly when designing futures. How might we avoid perpetuating 'one world' paradigms of the universal? Can co-creation and participatory design assist in working towards realising pluriversal futures?
