As QT2BIPOC, our existence is science fiction. We live as a product of our ancestor’s collective dreams, imagination, and their relentless fight against the post-apocalyptic regime of European colonization. As we sit twenty years into the new century, uprisings grow, and the call for change is making people ask, “If not this world, then what?”
In this panel discussion, we will explore the power and importance of QT2BIPOC futurisms in shaping and reframing the world we currently inhabit. We will discuss the importance of storytelling, writing through our own personal truths, magic, and the role of the artist in this time of uprising, burning, and re-creation. We will discuss joy as revolution, queer love, and the ever-important question, “What next?”
