Examining 10,000 years of knowledge and craft, two artists engage with ancient technology not as historical artifact but as living blueprint. From adobe architecture to Indigenous material traditions, they ask what ancestral intelligence has to teach us about innovation — and how it can be combined with the tools of our technological age to discover what comes next.
The Aspen Ideas Festival is the Aspen Institute’s signature summer public event. From June 25-July 1, 2026 business and civic leaders, innovators and artists, fellows, scholars, and attendees from around the world gathered in the Rocky Mountains. Engaging discussions unified by the Festival’s theme “Declarations of Independence” explore the issues of today, challenge perceptions of the past, and shape our shared future. #AspenIdeas
