Metamorphosis is a condition of change, of moving between states, of embracing uncertainty as the seedbed of renewal. It is not simply a transformation but a process of becoming, a continuous reconfiguration that challenges fixed forms and creates the possibility of new identities, practices, and imaginaries. Within the cultural and creative sectors, metamorphosis describes the fragile yet generative dynamics that unfold when institutions, communities, and individuals face disruption and choose to reinvent themselves rather than remain bound by inertia.
The texts presented in this book are the direct outcome of the Hubs Meetup conference that took place in Malmo in June 2024 that took metamorphosis as both theme and method. They were conceived in the dialogue and exchanges of the gathering, but they extend far beyond it, forming a constellation of perspectives that carry the conference into an ongoing conversation.
