WE ARE THE FUTURE! is a dynamic, interdisciplinary art collective, label and event production company focused on bringing NYC's cutting-edge artists and creatives founded in 2023. We highlight QTBIPOC artists in our community who represent the intersections between multimedia practices, technology, sustainability and identity through their unique lenses.
The origins of WE ARE THE FUTURE! trace back to SENAIDA's studio in South Seaport, NYC. Initially, we hosted show-and-tell style art shares that featured a variety of vendors, culminating in an energetic dance party. Since then, we have grown exponentially, hosting iconic sold-out events at renowned Bushwick venues such as Market Hotel, The Sultan Room, Hellphone, and The End. Our mission is to create experiences that prioritize community and accessibility, ensuring a safe and inclusive space for individuals of all cultures, backgrounds, and identities. We value collaboration, co-creation and collectively exploring new frameworks for creative thinking.
Additionally, WATF! Radio held a bi-monthly residency and art party at XPIZZA (NYC), further cementing our presence in the city's vibrant cultural scene. Our events are known for their eclectic mix of activities, including burlesque performances, pole dancers, haptic vests, immersive art installations, and a variety of vendors. Guests have enjoyed flash tattoos, tarot readings, tooth gems, visual art displays, as well as performances by VJs, DJs, live musicians, and interactive games. WE ARE THE FUTURE! continues to push boundaries, creating unforgettable experiences that foster creativity and connection.
