“Ficta Ordo”

Rehearsing the Rituals of Tomorrow

“Invented Order” or “Imagined Structure”

A speculative framework for how future ‘life’ (inter-species) might be arranged, composed; rituals, behaviours, habits, routines. It critiques the rigidity of current ‘orders’ and makes space for new ones through fiction, film, spatial design, and worldbuilding.

Ficta Ordo ran from Oct 2025 through June 2026 alongside our newly formed Field Guide Network of anthropologists, ethnographers and cultural researchers.

Student profiles and full films coming soon.

INTANGIBLE ORDO: Rituals of the invisible, of the non-material world, where time, faith, and meaning take shape without physical form to order our lives.

SOCIO-DIGITAL ORDO: Rituals born at the meeting point of community and the machine, reimagining how we gather, belong, and behave entangled with technology.
