👉 Workshop: Arts Academy, University of Split (May 4–6, 2026) The workshop (master's and postgraduate students, researchers, and emerging practitioners) will be led by Carmen Aguilar y Wedge (@car2_d2 ), a Mexican-American artist, designer, and performing artist. The workshop is free of charge and limited to 20 participants. Workshop application deadline: 6 April 2026 (confirmation: no later than 10 April 2026). The workshop explores an alternative approach to speculative design through presence, attention, and play. Through structured exercises and playful explorations, participants will examine present-day questions and project them into speculative futures. Using the improvisational principle of “Yes, and,” participants will develop ideas collaboratively while embracing vulnerability, risk, imperfection, and absurdity. Whether sincere, poetic, or humorous, these speculative responses reveal new ways of thinking about the future and the role of play as a powerful tool in creative practice.

👉 Colloquium and Exhibition:
Museum of Fine Arts, Split (May 4, 2026) 👉 Workshop:
Arts Academy, University of Split (May 4–6, 2026) https://surfutures.eu/events A three-day event exploring the role and purpose of speculative design within 21ˢᵗ-century pedagogical practice. Conceived as a working platform, it brings together educators and practitioners to reflect on methods, tools, and pedagogical experiments in design education. The colloquium will open with a keynote lecture by Matt Malpass, academic and design researcher from Central Saint Martins, initiating a reflection on the role of critical design in shaping the future of design education. The day will also feature presentations of five pedagogical methods developed through the Speculative Urban Futures (SUrF) project, followed by a roundtable discussion with project partners and guests, introduced and moderated by Petra Lilja, a Malmö-based designer, researcher, and curator. Participation in the colloquium is free of charge – prior registration is required due to limited capacity. The subsequent workshop will continue this inquiry by introducing a pedagogical framework developed outside the SUrF project. The workshop (master, and postgraduate students, researchers, and emerging practitioners) will be led by Carmen Aguilar y Wedge, a Mexican-American artist, designer, and performing artist. The workshop is free of charge and limited to a maximum of 20 participants. Workshop application deadline: 6 April 2026 (confirmation: no later than 10 April 2026). Matt Malpass
