Looking forward to doing it again next year!

We’ll be closing the FORUM on 9 November this year with a special performance — a Séance of Science in an Era of Techno-Spiritualism, presented by the in collaboration with the from

Part debate, part performance, part speculative theatre, this séance conjures up the ghostly returns of past ideologies and playfully questions how new technology becomes spiritualised in times of uncertainty.

This is not a panel. It is not a lecture. It’s a collective investigation into the cognitive and cultural landscapes of belief.

Registrations for the Séance are currently closed. A registration guarantees you a spot, but we always have some spots saved for spontaneous walk-ins, so swing by if you’re interested, but make sure to be early! If we reach max capacity, we are obligated to close the doors for safety reasons. You can join the waitlist via the link in our bio!
