Key points of this documentary production:

1. No system is absolute. Even if the questions change, people continue to give the same answers. 2. A warm plea for doubt, imagination and the desire for change. 3. The power of the designing eye (imagination)

In 2020, Corona dealt a blow to our society, our economic order, the way we live and what we think is right. How to proceed after such a slap in the face? Exactly as we did before Corona? Or is this precisely the time to stop fearing change and instead long for it?

Chief Government Architect Floris Alkemade makes a warm plea for doubt, imagination and the desire for change in the talk "Roads to the Future". Last summer, The Light Hunters spoke to Alkemade in the large transmitter hall of Radio Kootwijk.

Carlijn Kingma, cartographer of society, is a fan of Floris Alkemade. She gave The Light Hunters permission to use her artwork "The Babylonian Tower of Modernity" for this talk. Her artwork makes concrete what Alkemade talks about abstractly.

Floris Alkemade's message fits well with the mission of The Light Hunters. We want to let dreamers, sky stormers and change agents have their say in a series of interviews. Because we think that is exactly what society needs right now. People who believe in absolute systems are already plenty, maybe even too many. More interesting are people who doubt and try to imagine what society could also look like.

In his interview, Alkemade does not give a definitive answer on how to do that, but he does help us get started on how change could be initiated: "No system is absolute. Even if the questions change, people continue to give the same answers."
