Reimagining Agriculture explores the theme of urban agriculture for Jess Kapunscinski-Evans Futures in 2050 play with Monash Performing Arts Centre (MPAC). Reimagining Agriculture's design approach is rooted in Protopia, a term coined by Kevin Kelly, portraying a future where the world is gradually improving. This resulted in the creation of an entire self-sustaining agricultural ecosystem in 2050 projecting into 2100. 5 artefacts are created to illustrate this ecosystem: namely the planter box, hortishells, miniature theatre set and banner. These were displayed in the Accessible Futures exhibition, Melbourne Design Week 2025.
