PROTOTYPING OCEAN FUTURES

Can we build towards a sustainable ocean future without imaginaries that spark collective action?

M.A.NA - What could a future blue economy look like that valued life rather than death?

HAVSRÅ - What might activism around deep sea mining and other environmental challenges look like in the future?

MATSYA - Who gets to own the genetic wealth of our oceans in the future?

These are just a few of the questions that the short sci-fi films explore. Indeed working with speculative prototypes is a tangible way to connect emergent technological and social innovations for addressing ocean challenges and what kinds of worlds they contribute towards building. If you are interested in exploring ocean futures in the context of your organisation, please reach out to radicalearthfutures@gmail.com

The project to create these short films ‘Ocean Futurisms’ is a unique collaboration between Radical Ocean Futures (an art-science initiative that emerged from Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University), TBA21 and Inferstudio. More info and context here
