I am a writer, director, performer, and artist, worldbuilding positive futures in the husk of the capitalist experiment. In my work, through the production of film scripts, play texts, films, videos, and performances, I practice worldbuilding—constructing a fictional world or universe, a key task of many science fiction and fantasy writers—as a means to convey my belief that decolonizing, queering, and regenerating are linked processes.
I want to imagine a future in which I, and my comrades, could thrive while being neurodivergent, queer, dis/abled, people of color, historically under-resourced, and so on. I also want to imagine a future in which the overculture’s relationship to our planet is no longer one of resource domination and extraction, but rather one of interconnection and ecological regeneration. To me, these two concepts—to exist in our fullness, and to approach nature and future with a giving hand—are inseparable. I am also interested in the decolonization and liberation of modern technology, which so often is created to serve the capitalist machine that will be our undoing. In my future, nature and technology fuse, and humans are able to enter into an empathetic, symbiotic relationship with the machines and AIs that we have borne.
