2025 Program Overview
For 2025, our program is designed around 3 tracks expressly designed to leverage the work of previous years.
- Protocol education through a Curriculum Development Program that will offer grants to faculty interested in teaching protocols, and a limited number of pro bono corporate workshops by program staff.
- Scene-making, through protocol fiction and popular nonfiction, via our Protocolized magazine, as well as affiliated writing meetups, workshops, and study groups.
- Technical foundations, through a track of workshops, starting with one in Bangkok, April 21-25.
Our philosophical theme for the year is accelerating order, understood as an imperative to enact and induce a creative new logic for the world through protocols. You can learn more about this them in Issue 006 of Protocolized.
