Using contemporary Western life as a point of departure, Douglas Coupland--along with a panel of astute observers of the challenges and conditions of our current world--contemplates the future and what it might hold.

This lively conversation will touch on issues explored in the exhibition Douglas Coupland: everywhere is anywhere is anything is everything, presented by the TD Bank Group. We're bringing together global thinkers who are not afraid to take on the 21st-century condition, Canadian cultural identity, the power of language and the pervasive presence of technology in modern life. And, of course, ask what it all means for our future selves.

Moderated by Sara Angel, visual arts journalist and founding director of the Art Canada Institute.

This event includes the panel discussion and a post-event reception.

At the reception, we'll feature the Toronto launch of the new book by Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland and Hans Ulrich Obrist: The Age of Earthquakes: A Guidebook to the Extreme Present. The book will be available for sale.
