*The Hidden Heroes* by Ninocence is an artwork that challenges our notions of heroism and courage. The piece alludes to a group of figures with warped faces and distorted bodies, representing true heroes of the future who do not hide behind a mask or facade.

Ninocence creates a sense of rawness and intensity that is both beautiful and unsettling. The artwork invites the viewer to reflect on the idea of the often-hidden sacrifices and struggles that come with life at present, and it is deeply influenced by her own experiences and observations of the world around her. The Hidden Heroes is a testament about art as a form of challenge with regard to our perceptions, and encourages us to think critically and to question the cultural narratives that often obscure these hidden surfaces and aspects.

I believe the true superheroes are hidden.  
Unlike how heroes are usually being portrayed as flawless humans with chiseled jawlines and dressed in dramatic costumes. More so, the true heroes are bare with warped faces and distorted bodies. They are in their rawest form as they fight alongside us, instead of hiding beneath the facade of a mask.  
They exist inside of us doing the everyday work, fighting battles over the seemingly mundane: to get us out of bed and into the world, to fend off our anxieties and petty inhibitions. They are okay with being swayed by demons onto the dark side at times, as they are the keepers of the balance between forces. Even if they do not emerge from the darkness into the light - the source of energy won't matter as long as it keeps the host going.

MULTIPLE-ULTRA-FUTURE brings together artists, designers, and thinkers who are pushing the boundaries of what is possible, aiming to inspire visitors to imagine new and exciting futures for humanity. Multiple refers to the idea that there are many possible futures, and that we should explore as many of them as we can. Ultra refers to the extreme possibilities of technology, from AI and robotics to biotech and nanotech. Future, of course, refers to the idea that we are constantly moving toward a new and (by definition) uncertain future. This project unfolds visually as such:
* The future is not predetermined, but rather multiple and open to exploration.
* Technology has the potential to transform our world in ways we can hardly imagine.
* Creativity and innovation will be key to shaping the future we want to live in.

By bringing together a diverse range of works and perspectives, MULTIPLE-ULTRA-FUTURE invites viewers to engage with questions about our collective future, and be inspired to imagine and create their own visions of what lies ahead. 
Curated by Auronda Scalera + Alfredo Cramerotti, the collection presents artworks by acclaimed artists such as Florencia S.M. Brück, Genesis Kai, Ellen Sheidlin, Serwah Attafuah, Ninocence, Katie McIntyre, Cymoonv, Yulia Shur, Viktoria Modesta, and Sasha Katz.
