As uncharted journeys by boat have inspired imagination throughout time, artist Gerhardt Knodel's investigation of extraordinary heritage textiles of Sumatra guided the concept for Imagined Futures. This body of work takes us on a journey with eight characters who escape the routines of their existence, accompanied by embodied ancestors spiriting the way. Multiple dimensions of Knodel's four year adventure inspire reflection on the potency of cultural inheritance as resource for contemporary action. There is no turning back!
