Looking Forward develops research at the intersection of contemporary art, socially engaged practice, ecology, care and cultural infrastructure. Our research grows directly from curatorial practice, bringing together artists, academics, institutions and communities to explore how cultural work can generate knowledge, test new models of collaboration and respond to urgent social and environmental questions. Through publications, conferences, workshops and long-term projects in partnership with universities, we investigate art not only as a form of representation, but as a space for enquiry, experimentation and collective action.
