A Tomorrow: Monsters and Relics from Asia and Africa
What does the future look like? How has it been imagined in art and media, and what cultures have influenced these depictions?
In A Tomorrow, three artists explore how fragments of Gods, relics, and regalia from non-Western cultures — specifically Asia and Africa — have been appropriated to construct visions of the future. In science-fiction filmmaking, interior design, video games, and similar “future-oriented” aesthetics, Asian and African cultures make cameo appearances. In these forms, they may be diverted from their rightful frameworks in order to construct a sense of “worldliness” or fashionability.
