GLOBAL ART FORUM 10: THE FUTURE WAS COLLECTIVE

The past we know is simply what someone imagined, the stories that the humans of that time decided to tell. The future is a mass of unwritten stories. Yes there are reasons to feel afraid, there is trauma from a history thick with imperialism, colonialism, capitalism. But rather than letting that silence us, how do we cultivate the capacity to create? How can we use collaborative ideation to carve out space for futures that are collective, resilient, compelling, and beautiful? How do we use science fiction to develop a future we long for?
