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

  3. The Future We Imagine!

    The Future We Imagine!

    In this episode ,  I am focusing  on our Hopes and Dreams. What is the future we are wishing to live or wishing to leave behind for our children and grandchildren and the generations after us. For that I asked different people to record their voices in order to  share their hopes and dreams with us. A beautiful collage! Many of us have experienced atrocities by living through wars, brutal fundamentalist revolutions, dictatorship, political repressions and corrupted regimes and unwanted migration. I am one of those people… Time passes whether I want to or not, I am getting old and it makes me so sad to think this is the world that I am leaving behind for my grandchildren. It makes me think more than ever that  we must do something to stop this brutal machine.  And this episode is a little trigger,  at least for some of us to think about the future and to  dream!  Maybe by talking about our hopes and dreams we realize ( I mean our collective we) deserve a better life than what we have been offered by greedy capitalists and warlords.

His documentary projects include: Iranian artists in exile; matriarchal, indigenous communities in Mexico; and gays and transvestites in Cuba. Recently, he documented those displaced and brutalized by war in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine. His interest in photography began as a teenager in his native Iran where he contributed to various publications. At the age of twenty-one, his political activities resulted in his imprisonment for six months by the Khomeini regime. Upon his temporary release from jail, he fled to Pakistan and, a year later, arrived in Canada where he resumed his study and practice of photography. His new documentary work Traumas and Miracles: Portraits of Northwestern Bulgaria is dealing with the sense of disorientation, loss, pain, and isolation. www.babaksalari.com
