English term or phrase: living into
This is a contemporary artist's statement concerning his show in a Museum of ancient art.

... this sessential dialogue allows audiences to understand both the past that informs us and the future we are **living into.**
The use of *into* gives a special dynamic to the expression, I would be grateful for any ideas you might have.

l'avenir que nous habiterons
Explanation:
"Philippe Sollers, Une vie divine (Folio, 2007, 502 p., s.p.m.) Un des plus vivants auteurs du dix-neuvième siècle est – qui l’ignore encore ? – Philippe Sollers. Pourquoi, demanderez-vous, viser les contemporains de Buloz, de Sand, de Planche, d’Overbeck et de Koselitz ? Ne sera-ce – en mettant les choses au mieux – point l’avenir que nous habiterons ? Il se trouve que le passé fascine en soi, tandis que souvent l’avenir, se présentant, déçoit."

le futur dans lequel nous nous fondons


Explanation:
"ou sommes en train de nous fondre " In the use of "living" instead of "we live", there's the idea that the action has already started in the present and will pursue in the future, it is not just in the future.
And "into" gives the idea of "pénétration, adaptation"
