Gallery of the Future

Our Challenge

As the world is transformed by pandemics and revolutions, as physical spaces, access, and connection is lost, CETI will convene groups of artists, technologists, theorists, and communities to create prototypes of accessible, inclusive virtual future gallery spaces. Through the architecture, exhibitions, the interactions and conversations and interactions we critically engage with the world and with our communities, sparking a dialogue and reckoning with an inequitable past, catalyzing needed change.

We imagine an evolving space, changing in response to community needs and technology/media innovations—a space to collaboratively experiment, engage, and create.

The exhibitions/conversations/creations that activate these spaces will focus on reimagining – destroying, repurposing, and rebuilding systems, objects, places, and structures, to envision a future that is equitable, community-focussed, and inspiring.
