About Tropical Futures Institute

Hello to all TFI supporters, old and new~ we wanted to take a moment to briefly reintroduce ourselves, as the team reflects on where we're headed 🪷

Tropical Futures Institute (TFI) is a brand inspired by the tropics.

Founded by Chris Fussner (@dj_blockchain_algoriddims in 2017), TFI emerged in response to the limited discourse surrounding contemporary culture in tropical regions, particularly Southeast Asia. Taking a transdisciplinary approach, we bridge art, design, and research meaningfully with diverse expressions across the tropics. Over the years, we have worked on projects that challenge conventions and explore emerging cultural movements.

We continue to build bridges between local scenes and global communities through our releases and collaborations with friends and collectives who share our energy and intent. Lots of exciting things to look forward to soon!! ❤️🔥
