Moving forward, inward, backward or through, constantly making new connections, changing angles, perspectives and positions, without a pre-set outcome. The approaches differ but are connected by movement. Firmly grounded in the here and now, they experience, experiment, question and navigate the unknown. The talents dare to dance with life and trouble. Yet, this does not cause paralysis or defeat. Beyond future scenarios, they courageously embrace the possibility of having no end point, no solution or no future at all. They look at the world beyond solutionism. But also the messiness that trouble represents and the freedom it gives to experiment. What is being felt in this year’s group of up-annd-coming creatives is the search for the collective and the need to go beyond the boundaries of design disciplines. For her, staying with the trouble means that we as humans do not just need solutions, but most of all need each other. By being present and by bonding with a variety of others, in unpredictable or surprising combinations and collaborations. Instead, she suggests to wildly imagine beyond the known. In her 2016 book Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene philosopher and theorist Donna Haraway suggests that, in building the future, mankind should not get caught up in fixing systems that are known to be obsolete.
