ACME Session | Future Fantastic: Strategies for Decolonizing the Future

Inspired by the current Transcending Time and Space exhibition in the UMFA’s ACME Lab, this virtual ACME Session brings together artists David Rios Ferreira and Denae Shanidiin with, University of Utah assistant professor of English, Dr. Crystal Rudds. Can merging science fiction with cultural and spiritual traditions help us rethink and reimagine our relationship to care, work, healing, justice, and each other? Hear from each of these inspiring creative minds who in their individual work and practices utilize art, design, technology, literature, research, or activism to inspire ways for decolonizing our collective future. Be inspired by Indigenous wisdom, futuristic concepts, and practical ideas that we can all incorporate into our lives towards personal, community, and planetary healing.
