Centering creatives who invent new realities through design and music, The Future Happened dives into everything from the origins of the LP cover to augmented reality audio production. The exhibition examines how innovation in design and technology deepen our relationship with music. It also showcases new and radical narratives that have the power to transform our ways of being in the world.
The Future Happened is rooted in Atlanta and charts the city’s vast sphere of influence locally and globally, while highlighting 40 artists from Europe, Africa, Japan and across the United States. Featured artists represent many genres – from Afro-fusion and hip-hop to indie rock, nu metal, punk, electronica, rapper poet, house pop and soul – and include Adama Jalloh, Charlotte Adigéry, Clipping, Peter Saville, Nep Sidhu, Daito Manabe, Spillage Village and more.
