“Futuros Posibles / Possible Futures” Opening Reception

Exhibition dates: Sep 11-Oct 31, 2025
In the Ford Family Gallery

“Futuros Posibles / Possible Futures” invites viewers to explore an evocative question: What might Latin American cultures have become if colonization hadn’t interrupted the natural evolution of indigenous civilizations? Through visual storytelling, the exhibit delves into an imagined future where indigenous languages, traditions, and spiritual beliefs have continued to flourish, evolving alongside modern technologies and other global influences. Featured artworks explore how indigenous cultures might have approached contemporary themes, such as modern medicine, sports, and language. The result is a bold confrontation of historical narratives, creating a dialogue between past and future.

Curated by María José Castillo and Alondra Garza and created by artists with roots in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, and beyond, the exhibit is both a tribute and a vision, honoring diverse Latin American heritages while offering a fresh lens through which to re-engage with identity, memory, and possibility.

Join us for the opening night to hear directly from the curators as they share personal stories, cultural insights, and the inspirations behind their visionary works.
