David Avetisyan (age 15)
Title: Black Utopia
Statement : This is my poster. This is not my imaginative, dreamed future. That is one "utopia" which Lenin realized. But to realize this "utopia" and keep it for 70 years there had been great many victims. Many bright ideas were destroyed, and from the "Red utopia", the "Black" reality was born.. I don't want to realize the same kind of "utopia" any more.

Statement : Bridge through the universe. I am worried that we people will destroy our world through environmental pollution, nuclear power plants and war and will have to find a new living space. My vision is for us to find a source of energy which enables us to rush through the universe at the speed of light. The universe will be habitable. I hope that we humans are clever enough to protect and save our world from ourselves so that the bridge through the universe would not be a necessity but rather a nice stroll.

Carola Mahnke (age 16) Statement : Migration
Now people can still be held, but not much longer and they will all be gone. Some try to stay, but how can they without jobs.

Khyati Shukla (age 12)
Statement : Human Computer
In the future, people will be addicted to Junk Food, which would convert their tummies into big balls. Seeing the mouth watering pizzas and burgers which contains nothing except fat, any person would be attracted towards it. It may be possible that the future world will be full of fatties...

Nileshwari Desat (age 14)
Statement : Strange trend
Culture is a symbol of our recognition. Seeing the TREND adopted by today's generation, I think that in future world, people will create unique methods of fashion. So I have shown the black and white portion to show our generation which will be considered as the past in the future generation. In future generation the clock of time would be running so fast that we will become out-dated.

Philbert Tiki Yong (age 12)
Statement : World peace. In the 21st century science and technology has made the world so small. With advance telecommunication, we can communicate with one another easily, no matter where we are. Air travel has united many countries across the globe. Internet access has made human to interact with one another much often. Despite globalization and modernization, people in many countries fear terrorism and bombings. In Iraq, Iraqis live in sadness and misery. For large cities, for example New York, London; Madrid and others, city folks live in fear and terrorized psychologically. The world has so much unrest. Therefore, I hope my art piece will help the world realise the importance of world peace. I would like to plea the world for unity and to care and share among one another. Let us children have our rights of protection therefore child abuse will not exist in the future. Let our voices echo to all children of the world to express themselves through art. Art allows us to be creative, gives us inner peace and above all, helps us develop patience. These are virtues of peace on earth.

Mariam Khan (age 12)
Statement : Third eye vision for future.
"Small Wonder" could be the name of the baby Mariam Khan; at birth she was diagnosed with Down's Syndrome, with an extra chromosome. Now twelve, she tries hard to be her best. She can speak only thirty words, but each one is meaningful and used purposefully. Art is her way of communication. Through art, Mariam speaks many languages. All special children on this planet are the most beautiful creation of God: they feel pain, heat and hunger but most of all they feel love. Mariam is an ambassador of love, peace and courage for all the special children of the world through her art. The peace and harmony the world needs today and in the future comes from extending love even if it's not returned.

Roman Nekludov (age 15)
Statement : Spring forward 3000 years. Time to twist jacks and to think of posterity. It seems to me that our future is triumph and full victory of mechanisms and technologies over wild nature and man. As a result of technological transformations of our planet there won't be even a bit of land for animals and birds to make a nest and breed posterity. And to my mind it will be a great loss for mankind.

Sergey Borisenko (age 14)
Statement : Usual day of City Utopia in 2125. I think in future will be very hot climate. But all people will be adapted for this conditions. And that's why just thin clothes will enough to protect them from the heat and harmful effects.

Shadows of Cultural Economics
This picture focuses on the differences in traditional vs. modern ways of life. The Native American Indian represents a traditional form of old world culture. The graph depicts modern technology verses traditional economies and ways of life. As lack of freedom goes up, utopia goes down. As Utopia goes up, lack of freedom goes down. We are currently living in a technological world and forgetting the traditional ways. Do we have more freedom today? It is up to each individual to decide!
