America, 250 Years From Now:
Imagining the Future of Performance and Identity

As we look toward the next 250 years, how are artists shaping a future that we can imagine together?

Concluding ArtsEmerson’s America 250 conversation series, this discussion turns from how we understand and commemorate the past to what we choose to imagine what’s next. Bringing together artists and cultural leaders working across disciplines, the conversation explores how performance, storytelling, technology, and new forms of creative expression can help us envision evolving ideas of identity, community, and belonging. What might American culture look like generations from now and what role can artists play in expanding the possibilities we can see for our collective future?
