Uncertainty Seminars is a series of hybrid and interdisciplinary activities that utilize doubt and hesitation as speculative strategies for exploring the liquid nature of our times. Uncertainty Seminars: The Strange Escape proposes uncertainty as a playful and imaginative state of mind — one that departs from conventional societal norms and models. The program instinctively embraces strangeness and impractical alternatives, re-routing the logic that we employ when dealing with fundamental change.
