Ocean Futurisms is a collaborative project between TBA-21, Radical Ocean Futures and Inferstudio. Through three original animated short films, the project invites audiences to step into three alternative, science-based futures for the ocean. Blending scientific forecasts with immersive storytelling, each of the three films rehearse questions for the future of ocean policy/governance through speculative scenario making and worldbuilding. Built within Unreal Engine, these films act as simulated visions of worlds that might yet be…for better, or for worse.

In M.A.N.A, we follow a future ocean noise pollution data analyst - working within a new alliance of island states redefining ocean governance as their shores are threatened by the realities of the climate crisis.
