Collective Fabulation Lab
COLLECTIVE FABULATION — WAYS OF BEING AND WORLDING
Collective Fabulation is a space for transdisciplinary practice research, scholarship, and teaching and learning in and through narrative forms as exploratory and experimental ways of knowing, being and worlding. This approach centers processual story-making as critical praxis, rather than privileging storytelling as products or outcomes. Critical and collective Fabulation through artistic and practice-based research supports the creation of new knowledge that is methodological.
The Collective Fabulation
Collective fabulation provide rich soil from which story can emerge and transgress the boundaries and limitations of linear time, property forms and the crisis of imagination. Fabulation is a way of becoming-other through the co-creation of hybrid fiction/nonfiction stories that contribute to conditions for invoking a people to come.
Fabulations are processual, emergent imaginaries. They are narratives that unfold and reweave. Collective fabulation, in terms of this practice research space, is conducted as knowledge in action. It is a method of ontological practice through myriad tactical and improvisational ways of being, relating and becoming with the world.
