Abstract

This paper responds to sustainable HCI’s call to design long-term participatory projects with grassroots communities to counter the local effects of climate change and support more viable practices. We contribute a methodological approach to participatory speculative design as a series of interrelated experiments in living, working in symbiosis with a food-growing community moving towards collective resilience and food sovereignty. As an example of sustainability research within HCI, community food-growing has predominantly focused on collaborative acts of growing rather than disagreements, divergences and frictions. Limited attention has been paid to the challenges of effectively negotiating collaborative, sustainable speculative futures in this context. This paper reports on a workshop series on sustainable community food-growing using situated participatory speculation to address potential tensions when working collaboratively towards socio-technical alternatives.

HCI for Participatory Futuring in Sustainable Communities: Reconciling Visions with Everyday Practice
CHI EA '19: Extended Abstracts of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Current food consumption patterns are unsustainable. The food system is globalized and dominated by a few large organisations, which dis-empowers people to make changes to it. However, grassroots communities are important in engendering positive change ...
Infrastructuring ecological sustainability through multi-scalar speculations
PDC '22: Proceedings of the Participatory Design Conference 2022 - Volume 1

This paper responds to the challenges faced by grassroots sustainability communities in addressing ecological issues, through local action. Now more than ever, designers must fully engage with the messy side of these collaborative practices as we ...
Contamination, Otherness, and Negotiating Bottom-Up Sociotechnical Imaginaries in Participatory Speculative Design
PDC '24: Proceedings of the Participatory Design Conference 2024: Full Papers - Volume 1

Participatory Design scholars and practitioners have embraced speculative design approaches to challenge normative assumptions about sociotechnical futures and address the systemic lack of racial and class diversity in futuring. This paper draws upon a ...
