Possible Futures

Possible Futures is a place where people come together to understand and learn from the past, thrive and grow in the present, and imagine and build a better, more sustainable, and socially just world. Possible Futures is a community bookspace, a cross between a community reading room and an independent bookstore. It welcomes you, whether you're looking to purchase, peruse, or plan. Possible Futures provides a curated collection of books, artwork, events, and goodies that feed the mind, nourish the body, and sustain the soul. It prioritizes shelf space primarily for authors and topics that have been historically underrepresented in publishing and on public shelves. Possible Futures is a space for all knowledge-seekers and freedom dreamers. That said, it offers special supports, services, and programming for teachers, schools, and public education initiatives. - Possible Futures will host two exhibits, a selection of paintings by local artist Chris Barnard (www.chrisbarnard.com), and a selection of works made by incarcerated artists and curated by Abolition Transmission, a new podcast launching October 2022 by Connecticut- and New Haven-based organizers to help broadcast incarcerated comrades voices via WPKN (www.abolitiontransmission.org).
