We’re heading to the stars and taking our cultures with us. Instead of fading into assimilation and climate disaster, we are taking our languages, traditions and experiences into shining futures. What does our world look like in our wildest imaginations and what does it mean to belong to culture in the year 3021?

Astro Ark is a group multimedia exhibition which contributes to the growing cannon of Pacific Futurism and showcases the wildest decolonial imaginings of artists across multiple mediums. The artists will explore speculations about the near and far future. Audiences are invited to step away from colonial constructs of progress and experience many possible futures through projection work, painting, installation and sculpture.
