Imaginary Dinner at Atelier Gardens
The Imaginary Dinner is a unique networking event that employs immersive design to reflect upon our collective futures.
The concept was developed by With Company, a transformative design agency based in Lisbon but with its roots in Berlin.
For the 2nd edition of this immersive dinner, With Company partnered up with Atelier Gardens, the Berlin campus supporting pioneers for change and regenerative entrepreneurship.
Inés Lauber and Roots Radicals add to it the right food concept with a seasoned circular and up-cycling approach.
Together at a table were an environmental lawyer, a passionate botanist, a companion’s robot cat, an algorithm, a 100-year-old tree…and many other characters, that engaged in future archeology.
Based on Live Action Role-Playing techniques, the imaginary dinner invited key figures from the local transformation economy scene to play their role and discuss extreme future scenarios.
At times, we transcended reality; At others, we delved into the core of human nature. Through collective exploration, we ventured into the possibilities of designing future systems.
The outcome was dynamic discussions that skillfully embraced divergence while navigating extremes, we explored alliances and possibilities mirroring our collective imagination, culture, and aspirations to face these transformative times.
