The Big Ideas: Imagining Our Future
In the midst of an ever-changing world, we wonder about what the future holds and what we can create to make our lives more enriching. Artists help us to imagine a future that is as complex, rich and challenging as the present, but also one that may surprise and even startle us. We’ve brought together a group of artists whose visions of who we are, the kind of world we have created, and what our future could be within it are thought-provoking and often profoundly moving. The metaphorical power of art to help us imagine the unknowable is at the heart of their work. Like us, these artists are driven by a sense of urgency about our future.
