A Together in Art Pocket Exhibition curated by Faith Chisholm

It’s said that science fiction says more about the time it was created than the future (or past) it envisages. Think of the ‘classic’ age of sci-fi storytelling during the Cold War space race, or the many tales of menacing artificial intelligence during this dawn of the digital age. The following artworks delve into science fiction’s fantastical visions of the future to offer up their own intriguing metaphors for contemporary life.
