Translating The Future: Investigating Art and The Deep Past As A Way of Learning How To Live Now

When translating ancient poetry one comes to a startling realization: these people, living so deep in the rubble of history, are just like us, with their emotions and dreams, with their anger and prejudices. Today the world is faced with an impossible challenge, the ways we live work no longer (if they ever did), and so we must change, adapt, transform. By bringing together panelists from such diverse disciplines as archeology, social activism, and the arts, “Translating The Future: Investigating Art and The Deep Past As A Way of Learning How To Live Now”, seeks to to explore ways we can all come together to find solutions, or at the very least learn to ask the hard questions about how we must live now, in order to stave off the most pessimistic of future planetary scenarios.
