The Pluriversal Chronicles is a multi-player game inspired by the Columbian anthropologist and scholar Arturo Escobar’s critical work on development, sustainability, and the intersection of culture, politics and ecology that argues for alternative, localized, and pluralistic approaches to societal progress.

The game invites us to explore how we might harness our collective imaginations and commit our shared capacities and resources towards equitable, inclusive, Pluriversal Futures.

It asks us to examine our existing mindsets and heartsets, to challenge the official narratives we may be constrained by and to begin from a posture of inclusion, positivity and plural human-centered progress.

A World where Many Worlds fit

A World where Many Worlds fit

Arturo Escobar's concept of the "pluriverse" is a powerful idea that challenges the dominant Western worldview and proposes a more inclusive and diverse understanding of reality.

This concept emphasizes the coexistence of multiple realities, worldviews, and ways of being that go beyond the limitations of Western modernity. The pluriverse emphasizes autonomy and the right of different worlds to exist and flourish. It encourages the discovery and imagination of various forms of planetarization where human beings can coexist with other beings, enriching each other. The pluriverse encompasses the existence of many worlds that are somehow interconnected. These worlds include: The human world The natural world The spiritual world In this vision, these worlds coexist in time and space, forming a whole living being that is constantly emerging.

Pluriversal futures encompass the idea of multiple, diverse potential pathways for societies, cultures, and the planet to evolve and transition. A principle characteristic of pluriversal futures is that communities maintain their own collective agency in what their potential futures may be and how they work towards those possibilities.
