"If you had no fear, no barriers, who would you be?" In FUTURE WITHOUT FEAR, photographers Kennedi Carter, Naima Green, Abdi Ibrahim, Clifford Prince King, Doug Segars, and Magdalena Wosinska reveal how their subjects imagine their future amidst nuanced topics of mental health, young Black motherhood, alienation, individuality, intersectionality, poverty, and community. The result is a multi-faceted creative platform that showcases the vision, tenacity, and optimism of those working to lead us into our collective future – a world without boundaries, outdated modalities, and most importantly without fear.
The exhibition is curated by THE WORK in partnership with Southern New Hampshire University, Lumina Foundation, and Friends at Work. THE WORK is an innovation and storytelling group that specializes in shaping culture infused with social impact. Since its founding in 2016 by Rob English and Ty Stiklorius, the group has partnered with some of the world’s greatest artists, thinkers and brands to ignite and inspire by leading initiatives that include strategic and creative development in brand narrative, product and experience design.
THE WORK created FUTURE WITHOUT FEAR to explore the hopes and dreams of young people from underrepresented communities as they navigate through this moment in history. “The young people of this generation are burdened by negativity and a lack of access to resources to have the space and opportunity to dream about their future,” said Rob English, co-founder and CEO, THE WORK. “Future Without Fear is our ‘hope bomb’ to create cultural change through the amplification of underrepresented voices. This exhibit is meant to be a catalyst for meaningful conversations that start to break down barriers and allow visitors to visualize a future that is not defined by fear.”
