In many places, forecasts and anticipatory intelligence are alive within local arts and culture. They travel through songs, proverbs, and community stories. They come to life in the town square and around communal and family meals.
In Somalia, poets and spoken-word artists carry warnings within their traveling performances. In Ethiopia, radio dramas and local storytellers can spread early warnings faster than most official channels. In South Sudan, women-led peace committees practice preemptive diplomacy, often through story and song.
Anticipation has never belonged only to the technical and scientific institutions and their “experts.” If the arts are already delivering important anticipatory information, how can the anticipatory action community best support these messengers, creators, and teachers?
