Ritual as Technology

An evening exploring ancient ritual and future technology.

In the AUDITORIUM

Presented by Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming and The Library of Esoterica

Join us for a special evening exploring ritual and ceremony as technologies in their own right: tools for sense-making, creative expression, collective alignment, and transformation.

Together, we’ll explore ritual as a deeply personal, social and creative technology: a container for vulnerability and trust, a rehearsal space for possible futures, and a way of aligning values beyond words. Grounded in the sensory and the collective, the evening asks how this living wisdom might inform the way we design, relate to machines, and allow for more intentional and intuitive ways of being, both with one another and with the technologies we create.

An informal conversation, moderated by Jessica Hundley, between guests including Jette Miller, Georgie Greville and more to be announced soon.
