Constellate of Future Love

In this moment of great socio-political animosity, The Constellate of Future Love was designed to explore how compassion and curiosity can shape our collective future. Jump!Star interns Jonquil Moore, Aidan Phalan, Nyka Belotti, Hank Foreman, Rowan Leary, Angie Snow-Reyes, Divine Porter, Gabbie Bradburn and Leon Connors invited specialists from love-forward fields—education, mental health, physical well-being—to have conversations about care. Out of this Constellate evolved The Futures of Love and Study, part of VCU’s The Billion Worlds Lab, an experimental research hub led by VCU professors Jesse Goldstein and Frankie Mastrangelo, whose members will be on the grounds during InLight inviting visitors to share their hopes for what learning and loving can look like in the future.
