Salon for A Speculative Future

How to be in the Future, group exhibition at Crosslane Projects Vestry Street, London in May 2024

"Taking inspiration from the ‘future thinking’ of speculative fiction and looking at a wide range of fields from science and technology to spiritual, ecological and socio-economic issues, the exhibition highlights multiplicities and the complex interplay at work in global dynamics. The works, individually and collectively, draw on associations from different subjectivities and contested /histories facilitating a space for contemplation and the discussion of positive futures."

Knowledge Exchange Event: The Salon

Participating artists were asked to share their inspiration, research and critical thinking in a public forum. To facilitate the Salon’s expanding network and increase women, including trans women and non binary, artists’ visibility each participating artist was asked to nominate another artist and/or practitioner from another field to be part of a public discussion and related social media representations. Thus, in the spirit of a Salon the exhibition provided a platform for a public discussion of creative knowledge exchange between practitioners from various interdisciplinary fields.
