“One day at a time,” steady and uncomplicated, has become this year’s adage. As 2020—in all of its destabilizing, mournful, and mobilizing ways—comes to a close, we find ourselves suspended in the chaos of now. While we collectively organize and attempt to make sense of where to go from here, our imminent destinies feel at once predictable and unfathomable, impossible to picture though certain to happen. Yet we continue.

We asked eleven creative voices whose work and vision we admire, to imagine where we’re headed, without forgetting where we are, and where we’ve been.
