If we can’t shape multiple visions of the future, we won’t be able to change it.

Shaping The Future is an international project, co-financed by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union, aimed to foster the capacity of artists to imagine and shape the future through visual arts, design and critical thinking. We will select 16 visual artists, based in partner countries (Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, and Belgium) who will participate in a transnational educational and artistic development programme, organised in the framework of the Shaping The Future project.
Selected artists will participate in a 5-day transnational training, which will take place between July 2–8 2023 at the Accademia di Belle Arti Aldo Galli in Como, Italy. The training will feature 28 hours of workshops and project consultations with expert mentors István Keszei, Blaž Miklavčič, Francesco Pusterla, and Bart Vandeput. The workshops will cover some key areas connecting digital and material practices, such as AI, AR, IoT, 3D computer graphics, 3D scanning, digital fabrication, physical computing, generative processes and artificial intelligence.
During the development phase, the artists will be supervised individually by international experts providing them with tools, technical equipment and software. All works produced will be co-funded by the Shaping The Future project.
The result of the project will be 4 physical exhibitions connected with 1 virtual exhibitions to be held between April and May 2024 in Brussels.
Shaping The Future is a project of the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts- IED Network, the Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design and Cityfab 1, each of which works in the field of design, education, promotion and support of visual artists.
