A Speculative Futurists Guide to Administrative World Building with Tafari Robertson

  • Makta Studios 13 Grattan Street Brooklyn, NY, 11206 United States (map)

Hosted by Tafari Robertson

[Virtual]

Participants will work together to imagine the mundanities of a Black future utopia and the forms of documentation that may become necessary.

Based on my documents, The Post Relationship Self-Evaluation form and Hotep Registration form, Participants will work together to imagine the mundanities of a Black future utopia and the forms of documentation that may become necessary. We will talk about the conceptual practice of current systems of documentation, surveillance, and authority.  Exploring how art and humor can function to destabilize them, participants will be made authorities in their own future or present communities following the destruction of our current societies and be tasked with the preemptive imagining of a new mundane.
