Selfridges, the famous store department on London’s Oxford Street, is partnering with Berlin’s Reference Festival to present the immersive exhibition SUPERFUTURES.

Staged within Selfridges’ retail environment and also available digitally, SUPERFUTURES is curated by Reference Festival with Agnes Gryczkowska and presents a host of visions for the future, featuring work by Sevdaliza, Gentle Monster, Joey Holder, Ottolinger, Oliver Laric, Nico Vascellari, Ignota Books, Jan Vorisek, William Darrell and a panel conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Some of the highlights include an installation of sculptures by Katja Novitskova, examining the relationship between technology, biology and ecology; Jakob Kudsk Steensen‘s video work Liminal Lands, in which Steensen proposes a future where data and biology fluidly interconnect; and a specially commissioned display of five inflatable sculptures, which is paired with a selection of oil-drill-shaped Murano glass sculptures, by Monira Al Qadiri.

SUPERFUTURES is a reaction to a moment in history. A moment in which the future and diversity of our planet is pulled into question. As socio-political shifts attempt to increase hierarchies and homogeneity, the exhibition suggests a future that is a hybrid – a rhizomatic queerness and a desiring machine. Says Guest Curator Agnes Gryczkowska.
