Join artist John Roloff and the Museum of Craft and Design’s Curatorial Director Ariel Zaccheo to explore the power of speculative dreaming. This participatory discussion draws inspiration from MCD’s current exhibition A Roadmap to Stardust, an immersive exhibition featuring the work of John Roloff and Neil Forrest that explores the history of humankind as told through ceramics, mythology, and fictional archaeologies. It invites participants to question how our present moment will be remembered thousands of years from now.

– Will the stories and technologies of our time become the stuff of legend?
– What role does mythology play in our modern understanding of the past?
– And perhaps most pressingly, how can history inform our ideas of the future?

Pre-registration is encouraged.
