Futures Lab
Futures Lab is where we experiment with crip-led, survival-based futures — through collective design, creative prompts, and participatory projects.
This living space updates regularly at the pace of crip time — shaping ideas, testing possibilities, and building new ways of care together.
Prompts
Fall 2025 Prompts
1. What would healthcare look like if sick and disabled people designed it from the ground up?
2. If time moved at the pace of disabled life (rest, fluctuation, access) what new possibilities would open up?
3. Think of a small act of care you’ve received or given that felt revolutionary. How could that act shape a broader future of care?
