WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO LOVE?
Welcome to The Future is Present.
“We projected ourselves into a future in which we are loved absolutely and we rehearsed our lives there.”
The Future Is Present is a process and a practice; it’s a model for building community in a very small and incredibly powerful way. The project built a small community of Black and Indigenous youth artists/activists and a small community of students from Bard College to spend seven weeks cultivating intimacy and discourse.
The youth cohort created demands on our collective future.
The Bard community members listened, deeply.
Now, a process of amplifying those demands is underway. Stay tuned.
