16/03/2023 In the summer of 2046, Timelab - a creative community in Ghent, became the hub for a unique cultural activity that brought together people from various backgrounds. It is an uncertain time because of climate change, with more extreme weather events, sea level rise, and displacement of people. Governments and communities will need to work harder to mitigate and adapt to these challenges. But tonight it was an evening of storytelling, dance, music and food, all embraced in the warmth of creativity, where all different cultures and ages came together.

Though the event had been long planned, no one could have predicted the magic that would unfold that night. The eatery of Timelab was transformed to a mystical arena of tradition and culture. The tables were decorated with holographic table runners, AI-powered assistants, natural materials, LED light centerpieces and that illuminated the room with a soft glow.

The aroma of exotic spices and herbs filled the air as authentic delicacies from around the world arrived on plates. There were samosas from India, taco cups from Mexico, and dumplings from China, all a testament to the diversity of the guests present. Although the recipes remained the same, the ingredients slightly changed. The food was nutrient-dense and the meat was lab-cultured meat or no meat was used.

As everyone settled into their seats, the storyteller, Siena, captivated the audience with tales from her youth in Italy. She spoke of magical forests, enchanted fountains, and the legends of the gods who ruled them. Her stories were accompanied by the melodies of a traditional Italian accordion, transporting the listeners to a distant land.

Next up was the dancer, Omar, who performed a powerful African tribal dance, accompanied by the beats of a traditional drum. His movements were mesmerizing as he leaped and twirled to the rhythm of the music.

The musical ensemble, consisting of musicians from all over the world, then took center stage. They played a fusion of Afro-Cuban Jazz, Middle-Eastern folk, and Indian ragas, revealing the beauty of different cultures coming together to make music.

As the night went on, there were more performances, each one as awe-inspiring as the last. The guests were actively participating, shouting words of encouragement and joining in the dances.

As the event came to a close, the guests left with their hearts and minds full of inspiration. In a world so divided, this evening had shown that people can unite and celebrate the richness of each other's cultures.

The night at Timelab had opened doors to a new way of thinking about the world and its inhabitants. It was indeed a cultural experience of a lifetime, and one that would be remembered for years to come.
