Austrian art and culture group Time’s Up engages the public in playful experiences designed to explore alternative, preferable futures.
Over the course of their stay in Malta, this team has brought internationally renowned futurists, local experts and everyday citizens together through communal workshops. During these creative meetings, participants have shared imaginative scenarios, dreams and concerns that explore diverse visions of the local future.
This year sees people’s ideas come to life through the resulting site-specific exhibition, Cabinet of Futures, an immersive, walk-through exhibition that creates a ‘proto-scientific’ laboratory atmosphere, inviting local individuals and communities to add their own touch to the scenario.
With constant creative exchange from all walks of life, the hypothetical futures presented become sites that are continuously evolving into richer and ever-more tangible worlds.
The exhibition Cabinet of Futures is being held at St Joseph the Worker Centre, Birkirkara from today, running until November 24. It is open Tuesday to Sunday between 4 and 8pm.
