Ancient Future
Labs Approach
Human-Centered Technology
We find technology to be closely linked with nature, as the precious minerals that build the veins in which data runs in systems, comes from the earth too. We believe in the imminent integration of ancient wisdom in the futuristic technology.
Regeneration
As above, so below; as below, so above. We are not separate from nature and see ourselves as another link in the beautiful ecosystem. We embody and build a regenerative future that values well-being and collective harmony.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
We are too ADD to sit through boring stuff. We are into hands-on experiential learning and immersive experiences Interdisciplinary collaboration and synergy between different fields. We like to PLAY!
Community Building
Community is the most effective form of rebellion. We are the ones chopping the wood to make the fire we can all make s’mores and sing songs. But no really, we are in this to foster real connections and support each other.
Low-Tek Low-Impact
We aim to incorporate recycled materials to create minimal environmental footprints in our productions. We collaborate with aligned brands and don’t make compromises with our ethos of leaving people and places better than we found them.
Platform of Knowledge
We connect across disciplines, we aim to foster deeper understanding and inspire breakthrough solutions. We synthesize and translate diverse expertise, cutting-edge research, and timeless wisdom to form a comprehensive knowledge base.
At Ancient Future, we recognize that creating meaningful and lasting change requires a profound shift in collective consciousness.
To spark a climate revolution, we need more than just facts - we need to ignite imaginations. Social science shows that for movements to reach a tipping point, people need a vivid "cognitive alternative" - a compelling vision of a better world they can believe in and yearn for. Through mind-bending public art, soul-stirring storytelling, and transformative events, we're painting a picture of a thriving, regenerative future that speaks to hearts and minds alike.
By blending ancestral wisdom with futuristic vision, we're planting the seeds of a new paradigm - one that's not just possible, but irresistibly attractive. It's time to turn climate action into a cultural movement that captures the zeitgeist and inspires millions to join the cause. We are talking Solar Punk meets Latin America’s magical realism, with a high dose of your most fascinating TED Talks.
