Griot Futures™: The Dakar Archive
The future kneels to the voice that remembers. In 2045 Dakar, a bridge-griot contests a consensus-forging AI that monetizes and “optimizes” history, turning memory into a traded asset and identity into an index.
Leverages oral tradition as sovereign technology; reframes memory as currency and governance. Harmonizes myth and market into a franchisable engine (feature → anthology series → diaspora sequel). Destabilizes algorithmic “truth” with analog performance, binding spectacle to cultural legitimacy. Positions Dakar and the diaspora as the upstream of narrative supply for film, series, publishing, games, and live performance.
