On Monday, November 10th, MASS will host Abundant Futures / Live, an immersive day of speakers, film, music and performance exploring the world we can imagine—and build—together. The event will take place at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston from 1:00–9:30 PM ET, and will be live streamed for free in partnership with GBH, the event exclusive public media partner.
