Future Scenarios

The multi-platform project Future Scenarios by Lena Dobrowolska & Teo Ormond-Skeaping, combine speculative methodology of scenario thinking with documentary practices looking at the past, present and future of our climate. With scientific detail and precision, they examine the causes and consequences of climate change through installations, video, photographs and online (www.futurescenarios.co.uk). The duo focus on climate leadership of impacted communities in the global North and South, who offer local and Indigenous knowledge-based solutions to tackle the root causes of the climate crisis. In particular, they deal with the role that media plays in the countries of the Global North in influencing the narratives, which they are ironically adapting and subverting. The artists develop constructive and alarming scenarios for the future in which they formulate solutions and name those responsible. They also seek to challenge viewers to move beyond the fatalistic vision of a climate apocalypse and look towards habitable and climate-just futures.
