If you are curious to know more: “Be the change that we wish to see in the world, the quote by Mahatma Gandhi is an old classic but still very appropriate and important. Because it’s real, practical and an authentic effort to inspire and create change. Artists are the special breed of professionals in society, throughout the history of social movement and social revolt, who raise and react against oppression, violence, injustice, and inequalities without waiting for others. Artists act most of the time independently, open the imaginations & creativity and contribute to the social change by producing knowledge and solidarity or simply raising awareness or record & preserve our human history to tell stories and pass on traditions to the next generations or completely reimagine the future.

With this belief and thoughts Hashtag Future, invite all the artists to rise to the occasion, to explore and understand the current dialogs on climate change, environmental issues and challenges. We invite Artists to reimagine the world and create the New World Order. Hashtag Future is inviting all interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary proposals from practicing artist/scholar/cultural developer (traditional/experimental format - drawings, photos, visual text, moving images, installation/sculpture, performance artworks, etc) to participate in the upcoming “future of the world” initiative, we are primarily interested to observe and connect with your ideas regarding the future model for the world in terms of sustainability and social-environmental changes.​
