SCENARIO : Irrational
THE ADV_™ has developed twelve bespoke scenarios, crafted into twenty-four exclusive immersive experiences — each undertaken in two approaches; The Adversary or The Advocate.
Below we go into more detail about :
Topic : Governance
Scenario : Ir/rational
Approach(s) : Customs vs Cultural Copyright & Capital
—
+ What is it about?
From our 8th pillar of society, Governance, this scenario presents methods and perspectives within the themes of evolving customs and practices, cultural copyright and inclusiveness — participants have the choice to reinforce their current evolution or to develop a new trajectory.
—
+ What are the stakes?
We have broken down each scenario from the micro to the macro highlighting concerns on every level :
> Individually inherited principles that create a sense of belonging to a group of people. Should you continue to subscribe to these outdated principles?
> Communal authenticity of uncompromising traditions. Are you prepared to abandon certain practices?
> Regional customs that define distinctions between cultures. Will your culture survive if your customs merge or dissolve?
> National declarations of loyalty and collective identity through traditions, should they be shared or restricted in use?
> Global intervention in isolated civilisations and customs based on evolving ethical standards. Can culture be geographically owned?
—
+ What should participants expect?
In the course of the scenario, friction is inevitable but a necessary ingredient in the pursuit of; empathy, insight and foresight. We’ve identified a few core tensions* we expect to come up :
> Appreciation + Appropriation
> Cultural Conflict + Community Organising
> Representation + Repression
> Conservation + Circulation
> Foreign Profiting + Authentic Internationalism
