anOTHERs Designing Future Anthropologies
CURRENT PROJECT
We advocate that the future awakens the present. Future- orientedness is part of who we are and how we experience everyday life. We are pulled in the direction of the future in numerous affective ways – by hope and great expectations, through anticipation or fantastical speculation, or by acts of faith or believing in fate. We constantly prepare the groundwork for the future through thoughts and desires as we push toward actualizing potentiality.

Does a bunker located in the center of a village prevent another wildfire?
