Creative Production
Lauren Lakin has been a contributing artist and a Creative Producer with Forecast Journal since early 2020. She is also a Forecast Founding Member. She has successfully produced over 300 photoshoots, 10 exhibitions, and launched 5 Issues with 340 other contributing artists, performers, and creatives since joining the family.
Forecast Journal is a bi-annual, tangible, limited-edition experience. This hybrid literary, art and scholarly journal ranges widely in genre through unexpected research approaches and experimental perspectives. Forecast operates as an art collective, offering residency programs for writers and visual artists who co-develop each issue. The artworks are then produced by Forecast, prioritizing analog formats — still and motion film, writing, fine art and performance. This journal is published by Forecast Foundation, a nonprofit organization that sustains the creative practices of future-making visionaries with continuous, unlimited resources; we aim to collaborate to build wise futures that inspire a global public.
Forecast Foundation is a base-station for adventurous, independent explorers to meet and share generative ideas and skills, receive access to physical resources, production support and above all, a safe haven to recalibrate. Our land is ultimately a home for the spatial imaginings of our community: prioritizing sustainable living practices providing safety, rest and sustenance for artist-aviators.
Responding to an ever-changing, virtually invisible atmosphere requires an instinctual ability to adapt without delay the second new information becomes available. Perhaps the most important element in fostering a productive climate at Forecast is found in how we integrate multisensory listening as a nonnegotiable pillar of invention. In doing so, we open reciprocal relationships with Earth and Sky — absorbing and projecting forces in both directions. As we build the space, the space builds us, as we construct paths, they construct us; they fill us with their structure, their content, their intention and spirit. Air itself also lives within us.
