Intersectional Futurisms: Navigating Margins, Disrupting Norms
The following program brings together contributors who are scientists and/or artists and/or practitioners, whose contributions take the form of talks, performances, audiovisual works, and experimental hybrids. We have deliberately chosen not to categorize these formats in the program in order to avoid labeling and reinforcing artificial, Western(ized) boundaries between disciplines and modes of knowledge-sharing. We also omit institutional affiliations as a conscious stance: this gathering centers people, not institutions.
