Futures Thinking

For me including nature is important because its the start of everything and in a sense is everything. The natural state of the planet is slowly changing and parts are starting to disappear.

Thinking about nature in terms of how it would feel in my placement is a bit difficult. With the Conversations On Conflict program NSI runs I have seen multiple of the archive pieces from the young people talking about climate and nature preservation, however it’s not really something there is a big emphasis on. Based on that I think nature would want more conversations to be had about how it relates to conflict.

Taking a value-conscious approach would involve seeing ways of including nature into the conversation around conflict, however for our exhibition we are choosing to look at a different theme that is very important to us so nature won’t really come up.

I honestly can not think of a way to introduce nature into my placement, NSI is charity that helps give young people a voice through art on the topic of conflict and war, I don’t see a way of including nature because that’s not the focus of my placement provider.
