Aligned with the Swiss Pavilion’s three core themes – Augmented Human, Life, and Planet – “BACK IN THE FUTURE / FORWARD IN THE FUTURE” addresses speculative narratives and the role of arts in anticipating the future. Students from Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD) worked in small mixed groups between January and June 2025, utilizing various media and forms of expression to create artistic representations and animations that bring futuristic scenarios of our society to life.
This exhibition is in collaboration with the Swissnex for the Planet initiative. From climate change to biodiversity loss, science has exposed deep fractures in the relationship between humans and the Earth. Swissnex for the Planet is an initiative to explore a new form of diplomacy focused on rebalancing human and nonhuman interests on this planet.
