The Apocalypse Project: Art Reception & Climate Change Couture | Palo Alto

Submitted by the Event Organizer

What will you wear if rising sea levels, increased global temperatures, superstorms, drought, and polar vortexes become the new normal? The Apocalypse Project: House of Futures exhibition at Institute for the Future’s Future Gallery speculates on the environmental futures through the lens of high fashion.

Artist and designer Catherine Sarah Young, in collaboration with scientists from the Singapore-ETH Future Cities Laboratory and the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Northwestern Switzerland, have developed this work in previous exhibits in Singapore, Manila, Seoul, San Francisco, and New York City. The exhibition will feature interactive projects and welcomes audiences of all ages. The Apocalypse Project is a participatory platform where people can discuss their ideas about what makes a sustainable planet and what is a desirable future.
