Futures We Cannot Name
There are futures that do not yet have language. This panel proposes a journey between dreams, science and foresight to reflect on what we cannot yet formulate, but already crosses through us as desire, fear or intuition. Starting from listening to the unconscious and the symbolic power of imagination, we will discuss how narratives and metaphors anticipate possible worlds before they become projects or policies. Rather than predictions, the invitation is to cultivate sensitivity: to recognize that every future is born first as a dream and that naming it is also creating it. To undertake, in this case, is to have the courage to give form to what does not yet have a name.
