Safeguarding the Past, Protecting the Future is a traveling contemporary art exhibition that brings together international artists to celebrate enduring cultural traditions and confront the urgent threat of cultural looting. Featuring 20–25 original works inspired by ancient techniques and places most affected by the illicit trade in antiquities, the exhibition invites audiences to reflect on identity, heritage, and the global responsibility to protect our shared history. Launching in Washington, DC in October 2026 and continuing to New York, the project is presented by Stall Three Studio in partnership with the Antiquities Coalition.
