In a world brimming with polarization, inequity and complexity, understanding and shaping our future is more crucial than ever. Artists and cultural practitioners are crucial in pushing the boundaries of how we understand ourselves and the world around us. They help us to move beyond the familiar, transcend borders between the present and the future, and encourage exploration into realms that seem improbable.
From May 6 to 10, Salzburg Global hosted its annual Culture, Arts and Society program. With the theme Creating Futures: Art and AI for Tomorrow's Narratives, this program brought together 50 participants from around the world, including artists, technologists, futurists, curators, activists, and other leaders in their field. This publication is a collection of pieces meant to capture some of the captivating discussions that took place during the week.
