Future is Now

Produced by Z Gallery’s Shahrzad Arshadi and Caroline Künzle, FUTURE IS NOW is a podcast series exploring intersections between art and social change,

The title comes from a song by German punk rock singer Nina Hagen. She sings: “1968 is over, it’s over, … Future Is Now! It’s really gonna be a better world.” Her lyrics express our feeling that change for a better world is happening right now, through the work of many. In each episode, we will tell you these stories of change: stories of artists and art projects that inspire us. As you listen, we hope they will inspire you too. You can listen to all episodes HERE. Below are those episodes produced by Caroline Künzle.
