Future Perfect

With the growth of our creative and cultural ecosystem, there is an opportunity, as well as a responsibility, to reflect on our purpose, and what that means for the future. Future Perfect - Catastrophe and redemption in the contemporary features contributions from a regional group of writers, thinkers, artists, and curators, resulting from the shared dialogue, discussion, and conversations that took place among the first cohort of cultural practitioners in the 421 Curatorial Development.

In the pages of this publication, you will encounter courageous reflections that suggest different paradigms through which to consider how we conceptualize time or the passage of time, and our individual and collective roles in it.

The cover of this dual-opening book (English-Arabic) is conceived like a French-fold that reveals an exposed binding.

Edited by Rohit Goel, with essays by Frank Ruda, Mays Albaik, Ala Younis, Isaac Sullivan, Veeranganakumari Solanki, Rico Franses, Mona Al Jadir (in conversation with Mays Albaik) and published by Kaph Books.
