The future is not a fact -- it is a decision.
Welcome to the FUTURES
Here in the Smithsonian's Arts + Industries Building you'll find many visions of the future. Futures that unite. Futures that inspire. Futures that work. It is an exhibition about the kinds of future we might want, and what decisions, individual and collective, can help get us there.
Shaping the future is complicated. We need to ask: Who benefits? Who is left out? Who gets to choose? When facing these questions, we may struggle with feelings of anxiety and powerlessness. But there is power in imagining the future we want, not the future we fear.
Every dream is a map. In these soaring historic halls, we invite you to find ideas that help you imagine a more equitable, exciting, and sustainable world. |
