Uncertainty Seminars is a series of hybrid and interdisciplinary events exploring doubt and hesitation as speculative strategies to understand our changing world. In Uncertainty Seminars: The Strange Escape, uncertainty is presented as a playful form of imagination—one that exists outside current social norms and models. The program embraces impractical alternatives and takes a different, "stranger" route than the logic we typically use to handle radical change.

DIM - A Transformation Game by Áron Birtalan
In conjunction with Uncertainty Seminars: The Strange Escape, Stroom presents DIM - A Transformation Game, a participatory live event with a maximum of 18 participants. Transformation Games is an experimental discipline that attempts to reimagine the world around us in new ways. During this event, participants will blend elements of roleplay, rituals, and everyday routines into a new, collective experience. Open to all—no prior experience required. However, spaces are limited.
Uncertainty Seminars is part of the multi-year program Attempts to Read the World (Differently), in which Stroom Den Haag, in collaboration with various artists, explores our current world through an intuitive, inquisitive approach and develops new ways to navigate it. The program is made possible with support from the Mondriaan Fund and the Municipality of The Hague.
