the society for speculation
ABout The Project
We're all tempted, seduced by the question: What will happen next? In this ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration started in 2023, writer Chrissy Kolaya and artist Rachel Simmons explore serious and absurd ideas about prediction, fortune-telling, magic, and other forms of speculation. They are working on a series of interactive artist's books, presentations, and workshops that engage the public in a discussion about speculation and its role in contemporary society.
