Bianca Carague is a Netherlands-based Filipino artist and designer. She crafts objects and environments that tell stories about future worlds. She combines design research with fiction, worldbuilding and immersive technologies to create compelling future narratives.

Since graduating with a Master's in Social Design from Design Academy Eindhoven (2020), Bianca has combined design research with fiction and worldbuilding to tell stories that reflect on social issues and emerging technologies.

She has been featured in Vogue NL as a ‘Talent to Watch’, Vogue PH, Elle Decor, FRAME Magazine, BluPrint and LS:N Global for her unique perspective on worldbuilding and pioneering work in game world therapy.

Her solo exhibition ‘Gen C: Children of 2050’ has been selected from over 1600 entries from 52 countries for the Lumen Art Prize 2023 shortlist under the Immersive Environment category. This project imagined four different types of children that could exist in the year 2050 and took exhibition visitors though their bedrooms. It sparked critical and creative thinking about the future through the workshops that accompanied it.

Bianca is also known for her project Bump Galaxy, a Minecraft server for mental health that took a playful and participatory approach to worldbuilding and care. She grew it to 3M+ sqm of virtual landscapes for care during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic by inviting people to play with her.

Bianca has exhibited in Dutch Design Week, London Design Biennale, Triennale di Milano, Het Nieuwe Instituut and Tetem. She has also been invited as a guest mentor in institutions like Iceland University of the Arts, University of San Marino and Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU).

Next to her projects and shows, Bianca facilitates workshops that engage people in futures literacy through her art. In inviting people to build off of her work through her workshops, Bianca’s work is a testament to her passion for creating art that inspires and provokes thought about the world we live in and the world we want to create.
