  1. #Decolonizing #ScienceFiction And Imagining Futures: An #IndigenousFuturisms Roundtable

    By: Rebecca Roanhorse, Elizabeth LaPensee, Johnnie Jae, Darcie Little Badger, 30 January 2017

    Johnnie Jae: "As a writer, Indigenous Futurism comes as naturally as breathing. It is in every story and article that we write because we have always understood the role that the past, present, and future play in every aspect of our realities. Unlike mainstream science fiction, where futurism is typically violent and values the advancement of technology over both nature and human beings, Indigenous sci-fi is the polar opposite. We imagine worlds where the advancement of #technology doesn’t disrupt or destroy #ecosystems or the balance of power between humans and nature. Even in stories where we are exploring alien worlds, we think about how we can co-exist with the life forms indigenous to that world. We think about the ways our cultures, languages, and everything that makes us who we are can be preserved and how they can evolve in these new worlds. As Elizabeth has mentioned, alternate realities are a huge part of our sci-fi because even if we’re not writers or artists, we all imagine how differently the world would be without certain events like #colonization."

  3. What do you do for work or study? Mostly worry. In my defense, I work/study/research very light topics such as postwar memory, international #authoritarianism and #futurisms that go beyond the #climate apocalypse. I also spend quite some time studying the way #patriarchy and neoliberal #capitalism and extractive economies and the nation state makes everything really stupid and dangerous. So yes, I worry for a living. 14/?

  5. Love the writing + art in "Terraform" by Ooleepeeka Eegeesiak in Inuit Art Quarterly.

    "In my life, the concept of home has always been unsettling. While I may be displaced, there is belonging in being an earthling."

  9. For you who has stumbled upon this profile.

    I am Dialekti, I'm 🇬🇷 🇫🇷, I have a background in AI (mainly natural language stuff), research and startups, and I'm currently working on a #discursivedesign project, while at the same time exploring and practicing way too many #art mediums. Lately, I've been particularly curious about #aiart --because it was somehow inevitable for me.

    I am interested, as in will post and will follow curious individuals engaged in #art, #design, #futurisms, #fiction, #sociology, #comedy, #philosophy and anything or anyone #interesting :)
