genius loci: the future is ours
The Future is Ours, investigates the site of the new museum’s building as well as the role of the Museum within the East End Community and the Artists who call this home.
Visitors to the Museum are invited to write, on a sheet of vellum paper that will become part of an archive, their vision of the museum in their lives.
Artists are asked to envision their role within their community and beyond.
All are invited to participate and join Maureen Connor and Hope Sandrow in The Institute for Wishful Thinking to explore and discuss how to create the world we want to live in.
