Manifesto
"Stories can conquer fear, you know, They can make the heart bigger". Ben Okri
At the edge of a suffocating old world, a world that has cluttered our minds and spirits, and left brutal traces on our realities: a supposed world of equality of abundance and global mobility: these post-industrial tales. Some of us will succumb to the lure and ease of capturing and appropriating fleeting and futile trends, fueling the flow of anti-social media and ego-driven channels. This era evaporates and when the rivers stop flowing, only the stones remain. After all, there is a redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell. We all live in a network of stories, but how to put those stories into an inclusive dialectic to rehabilitate a new global reason and stop the slow erosion of our global freedoms? There isn’t a stronger connection between people than storytelling. As a fundamental instrument of thought, storytelling is the miracle of a single living seed which can populate whole acres of human minds, as it is our obligation to the next generation to shape the upcoming world.
