We are all too familiar with the crises of our time: global warming, uncontrolled technological change, disrupted labor markets, eroding social norms, new geopolitical conflicts, for starters. But what comes next? And how might we innovate for a better future?

Our spring symposium convenes a visionary set of emerging international thinkers to explore how human relationships, information ecosystems, labor, and the planet itself are being reshaped in this moment of uncertainty and possibility. From the power of art for action to the future of work and planetary survival, join us to consider bold new visions for building more just and sustainable global futures.
