#provokesandreimagines

Artifact from a particular future in a particular domain of emerging technology and/or social issues (race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, multispecies) that supports, includes and imagines space for a particular community that articulates alternative possible futures. The groups of students developed these experiences through editorial, story or narrative, mapping or visualization, object, probe or prototype, performance or experience, audio, video or interaction. Use one or more of the following methods: Design fiction (Bleecker), critical design, critical making (Ratto), speculative design (Dunne & Raby), speculative fabulation (Haraway), experiential futures (Candy), Afrofuturism. Invisible labor & work, co-living with multispecies, Afrofuturism & race, time & temporality, and queer nature/culture. 

Make a 20-minute presentation/experience/engagement with 10 visually compelling slides summarizing your key arguments and design intervention.
