What if the future didn’t have to be terrible? Even with as much time as many of us spend thinking about the climate crisis, we don’t spend a lot of time envisioning the future that we are fighting for. Sure, we imagine the pieces: the technology that will help us adapt to a changing climate, the vehicles we’ll use…but what about the rest? What will music, fashion, art, look like after we achieve a fossil free future? Mnisota2055: Postcards from an (im)Possible Future is an invitation to take a step beyond dreaming. Step into our portal to 2055 and see how it feels. Get inspired by work from artists across Minnesota, take a photo of yourself in this future, and send yourself a postcard that we will mail back to you this fall.
