Monika Oechsler, with Sharon Kivland (eds), SALON FOR A SPECULATIVE FUTURE
Publisher: MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE, London, 2020 ISBN 978-1-910055-72-4 £15.00 The Salon for a Speculative Future was inaugurated by Monika Oechsler in March 2019 in celebration of Women’s History Month, as a platform for cross-generational and cross-disciplinary exchange. Reflecting on the current political and economic global situation, in particular the exponential acceleration of a technology-driven platform capitalism, many women advocate positive change for an ecologically sustainable and humane future. In The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K. Le Guin argues that science fiction does not simply extrapolate from the present to predict the future—instead, the fiction writer engages in thought-experiments where ideas and intuition move within the confines set by the experiment. This book hosts imaginative thinking by seventy-five women artists, sharing their influences, inspired by women’s contributions to diverse fields, from art, education, and science to political activism. Salon for a Speculative Future honours and shares insights and experimental thinking towards a positive future.

As Ursula Le Guin slyly proposed, if you wanted to know about our world, pick a woman who has lived for decades and has been dismissed by all around her. In these contributions we can revel in the power of women across history and in art.’ Catherine Grant, Goldsmiths, University of London |
