Open Futures

Art. Sustainability. Community. 

Open Futures is a place to meet and experiment together - a place of experience, a celebration and many dinners. Starting November 10, an exhibition, talks, performances, workshops, walks, as well as a Sunday market, will take place in our partner houses, the Shedhalle, the Gessnerallee and the Tanzhaus. The focus is on dialogue, being with each other, experimenting and thinking about sustainability. Sustainability concerns our relationships with each other and with the overarching ecosystem, and is therefore best experienced in communities.


At the center of the cooperation with the Shedhalle, the Gessnerallee and the Tanzhaus is a research phase for five artists and artist groups from the fields of dance and visual arts. For two to three weeks, the artists investigate practices of sustainability in dialogue with the audience. They explore what artistic research can contribute to social sustainability and how sustainable and social practices can in turn enrich artistic practice.

Future workshop about how our sustainable and enriching everyday life in Zurich could look like in the year 2040.
