by Z Gallery
FUTURE IS NOW is a podcast series exploring intersections between art and social change, produced by Z Gallery’s Shahrzad Arshadi and Caroline Künzle. The title comes from a song by German punk rock singer Nina Hagen. She sings: “1968 is over, it’s over, … Future Is Now! It’s really gonna be a better world.” Her lyrics express our feeling that change for a better world is happening right now, through the work of many. In each episode, we will tell you these stories of change: stories of artists and art projects that inspire us. As you listen, we hope they will inspire you too.

<p><strong>In this episode of Future is Now, you’ll hear a conversation about gentrification that co-producers Shahrzad Arshadi and Caroline Kunzle had with two scholars, Aaron Vansintjan and Fred Burrill. Both Aaron and Fred have studied and organized around the question of gentrification for a long time. They share their thoughts on what it is, how it works and what we as artists -- and most importantly, as citizens -- can do to stop it. </strong></p>

<p>In this episode , I am focusing on our Hopes and Dreams. What is the future we are wishing to live or wishing to leave behind for our children and grandchildren and the generations after us.</p> <p>For that I asked different people to record their voices in order to share their hopes and dreams with us. A beautiful collage!</p> <p>Many of us have experienced atrocities by living through wars, brutal fundamentalist revolutions, dictatorship, political repressions and corrupted regimes and unwanted migration.</p> <p>I am one of those people…</p> <p>Time passes whether I want to or not, I am getting old and it makes me so sad to think this is the world that I am leaving behind for my grandchildren. It makes me think more than ever that we must do something to stop this brutal machine. </p> <p>And this episode is a little trigger, at least for some of us to think about the future and to dream! </p> <p>Maybe by talking about our hopes and dreams we realize ( I mean our collective we) deserve a better life than what we have been offered by greedy capitalists and warlords. </p>
