The public program of the exhibition Archaic Futures includes different participants, whose practices approach the themes that cross the exhibition: mythology, spirituality, the cosmic and possible scenarios for imagining an uncertain future. The activities take place in the Agora of the exhibition space.

La Sonic Encyclopedia It is a project that is nourished by various recordings, it is a sonic and musical journey through more than 30 years of recordings made by Leo Heiblum around the world. The mix of places, times and moments creates a new space: a listening that imagines future from the archaic point of view.

Heiblum will be presented with a second volume of its auditory research process. Like the exhibition, this immersive listening experience brings together sounds that are born from the root, from the telluric, from the spiritual and from nature. Far from a future dominated by technology, these sounds use it to interweave and create an imaginary territory composed of all those moments that transport us to past presents, future pasts and archaic futures.
