Findings from the Present – A Rolling Conversation in the Exhibition “The Heritage of the Future“

 In the exhibition “The Heritage of the Future,” we ask not what the future will look like, but how our present will be read from within it. This perspective becomes a mirror of the time we live in, revealing the culture we are creating here and now, often without realizing it.

To mark the opening of the exhibition, we will hold a rolling conversation across its four central themes, every hour on the hour. This is an invitation to observe the present from a future perspective–to imagine. Not to escape reality, but to challenge what is taken for granted. When the present is viewed as a future archaeological layer, even the everyday–the square, the sign, the station, the street, and concepts like technology and progress–becomes charged with new meaning. What of all this will be preserved, what will disappear, and what will one day tell our story?

The conversation will be held in English, in the presence of the exhibiting architects and the exhibition’s curators, Friedrich von Borries and Sabrina Cegla.
