“[W]e need to examine the ways in which our world can be truly different. I am speaking here of the necessity for reassessing the quality of all the aspects of our lives and of our work, and of how we move toward and through them.”
–Audre Lorde, Uses of the Erotic, 1978.
Next World Narrative is working on our status quo where we are all free to design in ways that bring out our best, resonate with our audiences, and contribute to mutual flourishing.
Design orthodoxy is not designed for mutual flourishing in its messages or its making.
It’s not just a creative industries problem. Inequality is rampant throughout many social systems. Wealth disparity, racial inequality, and more. We address this pervasive inequality by changing every aspect of society. Not just government policy but also creative productions. Yes, the work includes what is in our sphere of influence as game, film, TV storytellers, educators, and activists.
Next World Narrative is about what we can do in our processes, methods, and techniques to redesign the world for mutual flourishing. Behind, on, and around the screen.
