We are excited and proud to present Afterwards. Art in the Time of Change — a new publication produced by CYLAND Foundation and published by CURA. The book brings together voices from across the contemporary art world to reflect on the evolving relationship between art, technology, and society. Conceived as a collective inquiry rather than a conclusion, Afterwards explores how artistic thinking can help us imagine and shape the future in times of profound transformation.

What is the role of the artist in shaping the future? How do artistic practices evolve in

response to technological acceleration and societal transformation? These are the central

questions explored in this book—a collection of essays and interviews reflecting on the

future through the lens of artistic thought and action. Rather than offering definitive answers, this book presents a spectrum of perspectives from artists, curators, and thinkers working at the intersection of art, science, and technology. It is an invitation to consider how imagination and critical inquiry can help us navigate the uncertainties of what lies ahead.
