Ancient History of the Distant Future was featured as one of Philly Style magazine's art picks for December 2019:

Ancient History takes contemporary art from 13 different artists and pairs it with historical collections of the Academy. Through this combination, artists get to point back at these historic artworks, whether critically or with reverence. Viewers also see how life and times have changed, stayed the same, and just how complex history truly is. Some of the notable artists who contributed to this exhibit include visual artist Cassils, who works in several fields, including live performance, film, sculpture and photography; Mario Garcia Torres, who focuses on untold or unknown stories in history; and Adrian Villar Rojas, who tackles the idea of the end of the world through sculpture, video and music.
