The exhibit Geographies of the Future: Traveling the Arab Majority World in Virtual Reality experiments with virtual media to render possible impossible worlds. Artists participating in the exhibit reimagine geographies of the Arab-majority world in order to analyze political violence or to chart anew known landscapes. One of the major aims of this project is to harness and redeploy technologies—from mapping to virtual reality to gaming—that have defined regional geographies according to imperial interests. Artists in the exhibit chart a geography of the Arab world that refuses received categories of representation and articulates unexpected futures.
