This project worked together with Nicholas St Youth Space to co-create an interactive, place-based, installation that sparked conversation and encouraged action on decarbonisation and a just transition in the medieval heart of Limerick City

Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG11)

We are excited to be working with residents from Kings Island to co-create an interactive, place-based, installation that will spark conversation and encourage action on decarbonisation and a just transition in the medieval heart of Limerick City. Partners on the project include St Nicholas Youth Space and Limerick Island Community Partners and we look forward to working with them over the next few weeks to experiment with new ideas and support Limerick’s mission to decarbonise by 2050.

Ministry of Imagination Tool Kits

09 January 2023

The outcome of our work is the co-creation of The Ministry of Imagination, an experimental step beyond the limitations of the present into a preferable, just future. To take others on this journey, we are creating a collection of games and tools that are instruments for imaginative engagement inspired by the Zapatistas' fight for a 'world in which many worlds fit.' These tools, shown in the accompanying document, include: The Ministry of Imagination, Kings Island, identity and flag. The Ministry of Imagination tool kit, a tote bag containing seed bombs, stickers, a kaleidoscope, a membership totem, a pen and a journal. The Ministry of Imagination Top Trumps' game with 30 speculative roles from a decarbonised future Limerick. The Ministry of Imagination Kings Island board game. This is a remix of the open-source game, Commonspoly that encourages a culture of cooperation and questions the violent model of neoliberal privatisation. We are redesigning this game to fit the local context of Kings Island. This will provide a place-based tool that will bring members of Kings Island together, young and old, to learn about decarbonisation and collective futures in a fun and engaging way by blurring the boundaries between fictional spaces and real-life action.
