I delivered a “Master Lecture” for Associate Professor and architect Principal of Immersive Kinematics Simon Kim’s Public Commons and Worldbuilding Studio (ARCH602) on the question of Afro/BIPOC/Queer Futurism by asking and answering: “How do marginalized peoples manifest wonder in space, time, and spacetime?” My answer hinges on a new metaphor that has shaped my personal praxis since 2019.

While a great honor to be invited for this talk, I requested it to be a private audience of the 80 students and four professors; the concepts are very fresh and potentially transformative.

In coming weeks, I will share the recorded lecture on my platforms when the new ideas are ready to become public scholarship.

until then,
