Art does not simply reflect the world – but frames and shapes our future. A meditation by the Raqs Media Collective.
Many pasts never end up acquiring a future. The future gathers many pasts to itself.
In October 2001, when the 21st century was still young, we had written a text for art students in an art academy in the German town of Braunschweig at the request of their teacher, Jochen Gerz. The question we were asked was: “What is, in the context of contemporary art, your vision of a future art?”
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
