Forecast 2023 Introduction: Shirley Rodrigues, Mark Maslin and Alice Sharp

‘Forecast’ 2023&nbsp;symposium, City Hall, LondonFrom myths and fairy tales to sci-fi dystopias, stories have preoccupied humans since the dawn of time. They help us navigate adversity and create an imaginative space for future action. Storytellers connect us to new perspectives, enabling us to learn and make sense of our changing world. At this uncertain moment, we explore stories that resist the urge for simplistic solutions to the huge challenges facing us. The world is complex and our stories need to be too. So much of what we read is presented as the definitive truth, when in fact our world and its future is full of multiple interrelated factors and nuance.Forecast is an international symposium by Invisible Dust, featuring world-leading scientists, writers, artists and cultural commentators discussing the role of storytelling to navigate global challenges.<blockquote>Hear from writer&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/ben-okri/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ben Okri</a>&nbsp;and mythical author and artist of ‘Storyland’&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/amy-jeffs/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amy Jeffs</a>,&nbsp;artists<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/julie-freeman/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;Julie Freeman</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/samson-kambalu/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Samson Kambalu</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/melanie-manchot/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Melanie Manchot</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/raqs-media-collective/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Raqs Media Collective</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/gavin-turk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gavin Turk</a>, UCL scientists&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/prof-mark-maslin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prof. Mark Maslin</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/prof-priti-parikh/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prof. Priti Parikh</a>,&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/dr-caroline-edwards/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Caroline Edwards</a>&nbsp;and journalist&nbsp;<a href="https://invisibledust.com/collaborator/aaron-bastini/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aaron Bastani</a>.
