From time to time...
How do societies attempt to unravel the mysteries of the future? What practices, objects, and beliefs allow us to connect with the future?
As part of the exhibition “What Is the Future?”, the MEG is launching a series of discussions dedicated to the many ways in which societies imagine, anticipate, and shape the future. This second session focuses on the question of time and its relationship to our reflections on the future.
To enrich this discussion, two guests will share their contrasting perspectives:
Damien Kunick, curator of Asian art at the MEG and co-curator of the exhibition
Baptiste Le Bihan, philosopher
This discussion is intended to be open, participatory and lively. Everyone is invited to contribute, sharing their knowledge, experiences or questions. The aim is to build a collective reflection together, where different forms of knowledge intersect and complement one another.
More broadly, this session forms part of a series of four discussions centred on different themes from the exhibition. These offer a range of perspectives through which to examine how we think about the future.
Each session will take the form of a forum for discussion open to the public, encouraging dialogue and active participation. Together, we will examine the narratives, practices and imaginaries that help us envisage what lies ahead.
Join us to explore, debate and imagine the future… together
