The “Anchor Us” Theme: A Reflection of Turbulent Times
Recent global events, including AI integration, extreme climatic conditions, political elections, and cyber threats, have ushered in an era of uncertainty. Amidst this chaos, the “Anchor Us” theme emerges, symbolizing the collective yearning for stability and guidance. It encapsulates the human desire for a stable anchor amidst the tumultuous waves of change.
India Doyle of Canvas8 remarked, “Over the last decade we have had to normalise extreme scenarios with increasing frequency. From extreme weather events caused by the climate crisis to surging inflation; from the pandemic to the War in Ukraine, disinformation threats, the mainstreaming of AI and cyber-attacks – feelings of unsettledness are making for a stranger and less comfortable status quo. So, as we look ahead at another year of uncertainty and unease, what do we hold onto? How do we build resilience and surface joy against the odds? Our 2024 theme ‘Anchor Us’ is centred on the need to give people something tangible to attach to in times of seismic change.”
