Experiences and reflections from the Museum of Tomorrow and Futurium will explore ways in which museums can stimulate visions of the future with the public they serve. How might museums trigger visions of the future without colonizing it? How might they be agents for breaking out of societal bubbles and reaching those who are not part of the conversation? How can their spaces and programming spark new forms of activism? During a time that we perceive as a heightened moment of uncertainty regarding the immediate future, this panel will explore these and other questions so that museums can foster a wide-reaching and inclusive co-creation of futures.
