Blueprints of a Storyteller
Why has thoughtful reflection on art and culture never been more important than it is today?
"Blueprints of a Storyteller" was born from a desire to delve deep into the origins of storytelling and creativity, share perspectives and commentary on how current art and culture are shaping our future and our ability to see the world, and explore why decolonizing these conversations is crucial to building a truly multipolar world. It is for writers, creatives, and deep thinkers—those who believe storytelling is a powerful tool for shaping culture, resisting erasure, and imagining new futures.
It's no secret that the world is changing faster than we anticipated, with technology advancing rapidly and AI stepping in to replace creatives at "lower costs." Different communities are stepping up to tell their own stories through social media and the internet, fundamentally reshaping the structure of news and information.
How do we respond to this? How do we exist in this world? How do we reconnect with a practice that has been at the heart of human expression since the dawn of civilisation?
Through a mix of historical analysis, cultural critique, and personal reflection, each piece will explore storytelling as both an art and a tool for shaping society. Each essay and discussion is guided by a central intention: How do we reclaim, reshape, and rethink storytelling, communication, and our relationship to them in a rapidly evolving world?
