Spanish term or phrase: futurible
From an acaemic article on the current state of feminism and feminist music, written in Spain:

"El feminismo ha entrado de lleno como huracán para redefinir lo político, lo social, lo ***futurible***."

"El feminismo está superando sus trabas simbólicas, yendo más allá de lo meramente simbólico, cuestionando la representación y lo material, pujando por ser inclusivo, ***futurible***, híbrido, colectivo y específico."

Thanks!

forward-looking (thinking)

what could become a reality/potential


Explanation:
