future us
imagination, fiction and a new we
Anyone who cannot imagine a different future will inevitably end up in a world shaped by others. But what becomes visible if we dare to look differently? Does a future then reveal itself that is still open? One that we can shape ourselves?
Within future us, we explore imagination as a political and personal force. Fiction, art, and speculation open up worlds that do not yet have form, but are nevertheless necessary. Not as an escape from reality, but as an exercise in what is possible.
This subtheme is part of the shape of us, in which we explore, from different perspectives, what it means to live together.
