What is Working Backwards all about?

"What if we could view a future which has already happened? ‘Working Backwards’ features print ephemera ‘discovered’ from the future and presented for public viewing. Just as contemporary archaeologists sift through historic refuse for insights on culture and behavior, this retrospective view of a speculative future aims to challenge audience perception about our possible trajectories— and the actions required to achieve or avoid them."
