Abundant Futures is a daring attempt to imagine worldmaking and ecological futures from the condition of abundance and fullness. The exhibition places a wealth of artistic visions into conversation, gesturing at the multiplicity of worlds humans and nonhumans cohabit from the principles of life itself: proliferation, inventiveness, beauty, and relationality. It creates spaces for a social, ecological, and artistic reserve capable of altering human interaction with the planet and allowing new forms of conviviality to emerge. Shaping abundant futures means supporting already existing worlding practices and learning from them. It means reorganizing work fairly, redistributing what is available across vast differences, giving up what is possible to promote more life, and decreasing our productivity and wastefulness for the benefit of the commons. In these ecologically desperate days, embracing the multiple ways of being in the world means not only experiencing but also enacting abundance.
