Power Trip askes young people to explore the concept of power and reflect on how it shapes their lives and the world around us. Systems of governance are failing to represent the hopes and dreams of the next generation, leaving those with little power or influence in decision-making processes to bear the brunt of environmental collapse. The consequences of inaction shape our narratives of the future. This work is an experiment in understanding what might happen if the power dynamic is flipped.

Working from this field of investigation, participants aged 7-12y.o. gather in a series of workshops to disrupt the power dynamic and explore the implications of Artificial Intelligence on our future. Using emerging technologies of ‘Deepfake AI’ each participant impersonates a person in power. A speech addressing the world through the eyes and mouths of those who hold the privilege of influence.
