M(a)us(ol)eum of Precious Past and Disposable Futures

kohesi Initiatives is pleased to present M(a)us(ol)eum of Precious Pasts and Disposable Futures, a group exhibition bringing together eight artists whose practices examine the tension between human agency and the pervasive sense of living at the edge of an irreversible end.

Set against a backdrop of ecological, political, and existential uncertainty, the works reflect on how we continue to act, imagine, and create when the future appears foreclosed. At the core of the exhibition lies an inquiry into eschatomania—the condition of perceiving the present as suspended within an ongoing, inevitable collapse. The artists examine how confronting the past without nostalgia opens new ways of understanding both history and change, presenting memory as fragmented and contested, resisting singular narratives and fixed conclusions.

M(a)us(ol)eum of Precious Pasts and Disposable Futures assembles a constellation of artistic positions that collectively resist stagnation and fatalism. It conveys that the crisis of the present lies not in the inevitability of endings, but in the belief that the current state of the world is final. By rethinking our relationship to the past, embracing transformation, and remaining open to revision, the works invite us to reclaim a sense of agency within an uncertain future.
