Today, April 9, the Museum Of Design Atlanta (MODA) debuted a visually and sonically stunning virtual exhibit dedicated to the interplay of design, art and music. "The Future Happened, Designing The Future Of Music" features stories, sounds, videos and images from 40 artists, including Burna Boy, Laraaji, Neneh Cherry, Charlotte Adigéry, Clipping, Nep Sidhu, Daito Manabe and Spillage Village.

A statement on the website explains: "This exhibition centers on creatives who invent new realities through design and music. Exploring innovation in design and technology that deepens our relationship with music, we open our eyes to new and radical narratives that have the power to transform our ways of being in the world."

To celebrate the new digital art space, the museum is hosting "The Future Happened: Curator's Talk" on Sat., April 10, from 3 – 4:30 p.m. EST. The curators—Lawrence Azerrad, Ruby Savage, Floyd Hall and Marlon Fuentes—will discuss the major themes of the works, how they created the exhibit and why creating this space was so important to all of them.

"The Future Happened is a celebration of the power of music as a form of community building, healing, interpersonal communication and placemaking. We are living in times of accelerated change that will challenge us with reimagining the role culture, technology and identity is utilized as a force for good," co-curator Fuentes, who is also the Global Music, Contemporary Instrumental and New Age genre manager at the Recording Academy, tells GRAMMY.com.

"Many of us futurists have been working on the other side of time for many years now, through fearless creativity and emerging technologies. This exhibit will showcase not only how we quickly adapt to a decentralized, borderless world, but also how the past informs the future so that more inspired creatives can shine their light on their own terms and design the future they wish to manifest."

Lead curator Lawrence Azerrad, a GRAMMY-winning creative director and author, also spoke to the power of the "The Future Happened:" "The exhibition opens our eyes to new and radical narratives that have the power to transform our ways of being in the world. It examines how design can be key in sharing our stories and amplifying our power to make a difference in the world, alongside exploring innovation in design and technology that opens our eyes to new and radical narratives that have the power to transform our ways of being in the world."
