Björk Says She’s Optimistic About Earth’s Future: ‘I Don’t Think It’s Cool to Give Up’
"It’s about figuring out how we can keep humanity and soul in the future worlds we’re building, where nature and technology can collaborate."
Icelandic musician Björk has offered a rather fresh take on the global state of affairs, admitting she’s feeling surprisingly optimistic about the future of the planet. Not named for a specific album but thematically associated with 2017’s Utopia, the tour itself was a large-scale theatrical production which was described as her most ambitious to date. Alongside elements of science fiction, the live show’s narrative was heavily focused around environmental concerns, with Björk ultimately asking the audience to think of contemporary issues affecting the world – such as the Paris Climate Accord (which newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump removed the U.S from once again).
