Publications
Each of our publications is part of a conversation and the threads that they weave and spark often lead to new ones. Sometimes this will result in a new publication, or to an idea for a workshop, event or tool. We are always curious to hear what is most interesting for people, so if you have an idea for a conversational thread, please let us know.

Dm Stories
Who are we? What are we working on? What are the threads that connect us? What are the stories we are part of and the futures that we hope to become? Dark Matter is a conceptual frame and the name of a distributed, not-for-profit organisation. But more than that it is a boundary object for a network of humans working together across different cultures, time zones and disciplines. We all have our own histories, perspectives, aspirations, gifts and Achilles heels. We are all committed to something greater than any one of us can achieve alone.
This is an invitation, meant to demystify our work by showing it through tangible, real-world illustrations. Perhaps our stories rhyme with yours? Maybe you see some practical entry points, to try something new, to reframe or explore a different, more life-ennobling perspective.
