Tending Tomorrow aims to build compassionate transdisciplinary teams that use story and myth to reimagine near-future realities in southeastern Wisconsin. The goal is to experiment with various communication platforms and use storytelling to promote wellness and connection throughout the region.

A collaboration between the Tending Tomorrow project and collaborators and the MD+I Collaborative Capstone at UW-Madison as part of the MS in Design + Innovation graduate program, Fall of 2022. Together we’ll work with two of our Collaboratory members to bring their ideas into to focus and create proposals and prototypes for how to activate their ideas in the world.
Tending Tomorrow Podcast: Conversations on the future of living
Tending Tomorrow explores how we live, age, and find happiness in uncertain times. In each episode, we’ll explore aspects of the “good life,” well-being, ecology, the built environment, the commons, mutual care, community engagement, art and activism, applied compassion, well-being, and much more.
This podcast is a Tending Tomorrow project and made possible thanks to a Collaboratory grant from the Center for 21st Century Studies at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee.
