See the future at the Mind Museum

MANILA, Philippines –  Ever imagined how the effects of climate change will determine the way we live 50 years from now? 

The Mind Museum’s ongoing exhibition, The Apocalypse Project: Imagined Futures, explores just that. It goes into different aspects such as habitat, clothing, sounds, and smell. Through objects, interactive exhibits, and participatory art, the exhibit encourages viewers to use their imagination and senses to envision what humanity is losing and possibly gaining in a future affected by climate change. 

The exhibit wraps up on July 31. For its culminating activity, the museum is hosting Future Feasts, an event that celebrates human creativity and the aspiration of achieving a sustainable future. 

Future Feast will be held on Saturday, July 26 from 12pm to 7pm at the museum’s special exhibition hall. It will offer a variety of actives that will stimulate the imagination of every family member.

Foodies can sample Future Tastes at the Convenience Store of the Future where invited chefs will be serving up futuristic dishes. These creative culinary treats were made taking into consideration humanity’s need to rethink our food supply 50 years from now.

What fabrics and scents will be utilized in a climate change adapted world? The Climate Change Closet will give people a chance to imagine new trends in the fashion of the future. Guests are also encouraged to come in their climate change-adapted attire and pose for pictures at the photo booth.

Children will have a variety of activities to keep their minds stimulated at the Tinker Studio with arts and crafts activities. They will also be tested on their knowledge of climate change through an environmental scavenger hunt.
