Sustainable Futures
How can an interrelated and interdependent future for humans and more-than-humans emerge?
ArtScience Museum presents a seasonal focus exploring imaginaries that could orientate us towards catalysing change and action to shape real and sustainable collective futures.
Explore diverse perspectives and on-ground learnings through a nature-in-focus film festival, a forum that explores our youths’ unique paradigm around ecological justice, digital nature art trails and upcycling workshops on environmental empathy, and installations that dream up fantastical ecosystems of imaginary flora and fauna and hypothetical realities.
