Technologies such as blockchain and NFTs will usher in a new era of creativity where everyone has an equal chance of success regardless of their background, writes Amber Slooten of digital fashion brand The Fabricant in her manifesto for the Dezeen 15 digital festival.
"Imagine a future that belongs to creators," Slooten writes. "A future where we remove history?s gatekeepers and build a new economy where our financial rewards are finally equal to our talent."
Slooten believes that new technologies will allow creatives from anywhere in the world to showcase their talent and achieve success based on merit.
"In this digital future, a kid in Dakar stands as much chance as a kid in Paris of becoming an influential fashion force, with the tools to bring their ideas to life and a network of supporters that promotes, distributes and sells their work," she writes. The Dezeen 15 festival features 15 manifestos presenting ideas that can change the world over the next 15 years. Each contributor will also take part in a live video interview.
