Parallel Presents is a participatory and creative methodology for creating positive visions of sustainable worlds that can be used in diverse settings to generate fresh ideas and a shared sense of hope and possibility.

Parallel Presents was created by Professor Amy Twigger Holroyd at Nottingham School of Art & Design.
