SHOWCASES

Exploring issues through hands-on experiences.

Our showcases are designed to cultivate informed communities through conversation, imagination, and storytelling. They’re carefully crafted creative spaces for people to eat, drink, enjoy art and music, and explore the issues that are shaping our lives.

01/

Insights


Our showcases present evidence, ideas, and realities from across fields and lenses. The goal is to provide an centralized, multifaceted gateway into the current state of the issues.

 
02/

Participation


Showcases don’t have attendees – they have participants. Through interactive installations and opportunities to connect, everyone is invited to be part of the conversation.

 
03/

Imagination


Progress doesn’t happen without inspiration, so our showcases carve out space to imagine vibrant, just, and sustainable futures – and what it might take to get there.

 
 
 

Showcases are participatory public art and science exhibitions for exploring critical issues.
