On June 4th, 2025, members of the REFLACT research group, together with the Section for Digitalization, Democracy, and Governance, had the pleasure of hosting a creative writing workshop led by author Helene Johanne Christensen.

Through fictional writing techniques, we explored how to attune ourselves to more-than-human perspectives and engage with our surroundings in attentive and imaginative ways. The session invited us to consider often-overlooked viewpoints in our environments, and introduced us to artistic practices and the potential of fiction as a method for sensing, relating to place, and imagining sustainable futures.

Thank you, Helene, for facilitating such a curious and inspiring session!

If you’re interested in diving deeper into these ideas, they are thoughtfully explored in this paper by Olivia here.
