We are used to monuments and commemorations dwelling on past disasters and triumphs. But can you also commemorate the future if you already know what will happen? Collective Walden thinks so. For a few years now, they have been building a monument to the future. During Re_Nature, GEDENK TO OVERSTROMEN will be unveiled and ceremoniously inaugurated with a memorial CEREMONY FOR THE FUTURE (MONUMENT VOOR DE TOEKOMST).
What doesn't exist forever can actually be extra special. We must prepare for unprecedented changes. What skills do we need in a time of climate adaptation and shifting power relations? Those who can change have the future.
