Deliberative Transensus
How could alternate ways of being enable you to empathise, understand, and dialogue?
In this task, you will explore transensus as a way of understanding creative participation beyond agreement or disagreement. When you collaborate with others, do you aim to reach a clear outcome, or are you open to uncertainty and possibility? What happens when you stay with difference rather than trying to resolve it?
You will reflect on how participatory arts create temporary spaces where people can explore new ways of being and relating. When have you experienced a moment of shared creativity that changed how you saw yourself or others? How do embodied, emotional responses shape collaboration?
This task also invites you to consider the role of “vibes” and "shared feeling" in group dynamics. How do atmosphere, tone, and presence influence whether a space feels open, safe, or connected? As you engage with these ideas, think about democracy as an ongoing process of exploration. What might it mean to value possibility, imagination, and multiple perspectives in how we create, relate, and live together?
