Museum of Future’s latest exhibition – Our Shared Futures – is now open for public display at NSW Parliament until June 29th 2023, and invites us to consider our shared past and imagine our shared futures.
 

Our Shared Futures, hosted at NSW Parliament by the Member for Sydney, Alex Greenwich MP, presents a compilation of works from three MoF exhibitions, where each work features an imagined ‘history’ of how the future occurred. This exhibition is also the premiere of a new work, Yadingji, which explores how transformative moments of the past and the future are connected.

​

This project has been supported by grant funding from the Australia Council for the Arts and City of Sydney.

The works in Our Shared Futures are drawn from these previous MoF exhibitions: 

• Pandemic Pivots, which showcases works by 11 artists who collaborated with 10 Sydney communities during the 2020 lockdown to imagine Australia post-pandemic. This is the first ‘in real life’ showing of these works that draw on the ideas of hundreds of community members; 

• The Future of Work, which shares five pieces that imagine regenerative futures in 2050; and 

• Food for Thought, which brings an engaging work – The Regen Ring – that imagines a future where the first obligation of all employees and citizens is to the regeneration of life

New work: Yadingji

Our Shared Futures also premieres a new artwork, Yadingji,
by First Nations artists Nicole Smede and Michael Robinson. Yadingji features an awe-inspiring carving and 30 possible future events. 

Be part of co-creating MoF’s next artwork

In an exciting twist on the traditional museum trope, Our Shared Futures, invites visitors to be part of Yadingji by suggesting their own future events. 

This means that you can play a part in co-creating Museum of Future’s next artwork.  To take part, visit the exhibition at NSW Parliament between now and 16th June, and share the future event that you want for Australia. The new artwork inspired by visitor’s contributions will be unveiled on 21st June.
