Speculative Energy Futures Workshops in Cape Town
Lalela, the LO-Def Film Factory and GaudiLabs teamed up to co-run a workshop where participants learned how to build their own solar-powered devices, and learners were invited to think beyond solar energy as just a technical solution. By using the LO-Def Film Factory method for speculative storytelling and character design, The workshop participants explored how energy, technology and power are experienced and shared in South Africa. They also imagined how these resources could be harnessed for more just collective futures. By combining imagination with practical skills, learners were able to connect creative thinking with real-world application, gaining both technical knowledge and new ways of understanding the world around them.
