“#Futurare” scholarship project
In 2020 I participated in the contest announced by Abadir (link). The contest consisted in explaining, using a project posted on a Instagram page, what the word “Futurare” meant to us.
To me “Futurare” meant to dream, because there is no future without dreaming
Who knows how to do it better than the children? Dreaming is something you should never stop doing.
“Dreams”
"Dreaming" should not be associated exclusively with the dream world, dreaming also means creating your own world, your own history, your own future.“My world”
Dreaming also means having goals to achieve to make your dreams about your future come true.

“1 of 4 ways”
Music is a wonderful way to travel with your mind and dream, without any distractions.
Art has always pushed the observer towards new worlds and stimulates his imagination and dreams.
“2 of 4 ways”
Video games, although they are not often associated with dreams, allow us to explore distant or non-existent worlds, and many games allow us to create and exploit our imagination in order to create our own worlds or make our dreams come true.“3 of 4 ways”
Films, like books, push us to dream and alienate ourselves for a while from reality and everyday life.“4 of 4 ways”
How many times while looking at the horizon have we not found ourselves immersed in our thoughts or daydreams?“Day dream”
The sky over and over again in its immensity has captured us and accompanied us into worlds and times that exist in our imagination, letting us dream without disturbing us.
“Sky”
“A trip”
Dreaming is a continuous journey, between our mind and our hopes, which will inevitably lead us towards our future.
Writing, like drawing, allows us to bring into the real world everything that was previously just dreams and fantasies.
“Now it’s real”
Dreaming also means creating hopes. Hopes that your dreams about the future will turn into the present, into reality.“Hope”
Dreaming and hoping is also a risk. The risk that not everything will be exactly as we imagined and this could make us fall, only to then get back up stronger.
“Risks”
“Thinking”
Thinking, designing, creating. Dreams and fantasies help us a lot in this; we do it without thinking too much about it, alienating ourselves in our own worlds.
We are not always able to see the whole horizon, perhaps there is a wall or any obstacle in front of us, but with our mind we can go beyond this obstacle and create our own large handle and imagine what is beyond that obstacle.“Keyhole”
“Future&Past”
How can we dream of a future without first having a past? Without knowing where we come from and who we are? The past and the future, however distant, will always be connected.
What are fantasy and dreams if not the mind's eye, which gives a constant glimpse into new or old worlds.
“The eye of the mind
Dreaming and using our imagination allows us to open a door to imaginary worlds and both distant and near futures.“Door”
Reading is the cheapest and most comfortable way to travel. It allows you to literally go anywhere, even places that no one has ever visited except in their dreams and fantasies.“Read a world”
“Nothingness”
Without dreams, without imagination, without hope it is impossible to imagine a future. Hope is what drives us to achieve our goals; dreams and imagination are what create goals for us.
