Lucid Wake
Equitable Narratives
by Duresameen Ashraf


In a landscape of narratives, our knowledge is impacted by media, institutions, and governments. Information, language, and data act as drivers programming algorithms in AI and social systems, the systemic outcome being reflective of the intents and inputs of the algorithms. Security, resilience, and human rights emerge as possible indicators when representative discourse are the inputs of systems. A collection of essays, global art, and poetry demonstrate the individual as the agent of change, and the consequent need to restructure social narratives accordingly.
