futures
The Futures atmosphere is thinking collectively about how to embody and present multiple visions of the future at a time when our futures (nuestros futuros) are already here performing and disintegrating within our lives and environments. Within this context, collaborators are asking, “How do we reclaim the past in order to decolonize the future?” This atmosphere draws from anti-colonial and neo-colonial work to propose, model, and amplify multiple futures in Philadelphia, across time and space.

“We are not only realizing that we are decolonizing, re-designing, and liberating our futures in our own city, in our own ways, but we are arduously building off of anti-colonial work that seeks to reclaim our pasts, our presents, and our perceptions of times and spaces, because our futures (nuestros futuros) are already here performing, disintegrating and reconstituting within our lives and environments.
