A disruption of space that images an alternative reality or utopia, at least temporarily. These actions give a glimpse of “the world that is possible” by modeling it, earnestly or in jest. For example, Monthly Critical Mass bike rides prefigure a possible city in which bikes are the predominant mode of transportation. \u00a0Similarly, many Civil Rights era protests could be said to be prefigurative, modeling a world without segregation by acting as if the laws did not apply.<\/p>\n
Pranks, art interventions, tactical media, alternative festivals and temporary communities, even electoral guerrilla theater, can also be effective ways to prefigure the world we want to live in.<\/p>\n
Prefigurative interventions are direct actions sited at the point of assumption \u2014 where beliefs are made and unmade, and the limits of the possible can be stretched.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
