At the Museum & Cultural Center at 5ive Points in Cleveland, this free conversation brings together What If…? curator Liza Blair with crafters and growers for an in-depth look at the future stories they have envisioned and the objects and ideas that bring those narratives to life. The discussion connects to What if: Designs from the Future of Crafting & Growing, an exhibition developed by Humanities Tennessee’s Shared Futures Lab and supported by Humanities Tennessee and By the People: Conversations Beyond 250. Humanities Tennessee is an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the perspectives shared do not necessarily represent either organization. By the People is a series of community-driven programs led by humanities councils across the United States, its territories, and the District of Columbia in collaboration with local partners. Together, these efforts reflect on 250 years of the nation’s cultural life while looking ahead, and were developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage as a complement to the 2026 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Featured panelists include Julia Donagrandi of Loof'n Round Gardens, Annie LaVoie of Mouthy Oddities, and Sheila-Renese Williams of Moore Family Century Farm.
