A Manifesto for Futures Ecologies
Futures Ecologies guide societies towards a regenerative and inclusive future, fostering interconnectedness, empathy, and a collective responsibility that is essential for navigating the complex challenges of our rapidly evolving world.
Futures Ecologies emerge from multi-species relations
We envision a future shaped by the collaborative dance of all organisms. Adopting a conscious more-than-human perspective, we honor the agency of other-than-human species in the co-creation of our shared destiny.
Futures Ecologies weave together past, present, and future generations
Our narratives are woven from multiple pasts and presents, intricately connected to the generations that came before and those yet to come. In recognizing our roles as both ancestors and descendants, Futures Ecologies embrace a continuum that transcends time.
Futures Ecologies are plural and pluriversal in nature
The future is not singular; it is a tapestry of diverse possibilities. In embracing the uncertainty and divergence that lie ahead, Futures Ecologies imagines multiple futures, each a valid representation of different perspectives and stories coexisting on the same timeline.
Futures Ecologies transcend the human-nature-technology divides
Beyond the conventional boundaries, we unite myth, technology, and ecology. Rejecting the dichotomy between humans and machines, we acknowledge the blurred lines, drawing inspiration from both ancient wisdom and cutting-edge AI. Our vision unfolds in the harmonious convergence of these elements.
Futures Ecologies are personal and embodied
Rooted in the belief that personal connection is the foundation of collective understanding, Futures Ecologies make global stories tangible and real for individuals. By intertwining the personal with the ecological, we foster empathy, ensuring that our journey towards the future is not abstract but deeply felt.
