PROPHESY
In a world renewing itself, who decides what is worth saving, and who is allowed to imagine the future? What becomes possible when the scarcity of time bends, and the future actually informs the past instead of history dictating what comes next? If the practice of collective joy is a form of activism, what manifestations of hope can emerge within it?

Built for Possibility
“Art galleries transform into homes, living rooms lay inside. But what is living if not our conflict from karma, resolved. Walk beside me. Eat beside me. Wonder how we can float on top of something already floating. Rock on ocean on air, holding together.
To PROPHESY is to believe in the future, but what is the future if not our nowness. Divine inspiration is what makes us laugh, cry, and try again. I can’t believe we get to continue trying.” — curator, @hamsalefae
