Worldbuilding as Future: Creolizing The Ruins of Modernity

  • Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum (map)

We’ll embark on an exploratory and personal journey through the conceptual landscapes shaped by the aftermath of modernity. We will delve into the creative process of worldbuilding and science fiction as visionary and personal tools for imagining and constructing future realities. By embracing the notion of 'creolization,' we will investigate how the blending of diverse cultural, intellectual, and social elements can forge new, resilient pathways for humanity. How do we imagine the future in the context of addressing, navigating, and transforming environmental, social, and cultural challenges, seeking innovative ways to create inclusive and sustainable futures?
