We Demand Stories: Dreams Without Boundaries Solarpunk and Hopepunk Futures

We Demand Stories about Dreams Without Boundaries— Solarpunk, Hopepunk, and Imagining the Future: A conversation with Rob Cameron, Andrea Hairston, and Micaiah Johnson

Prescience is about seeing the now very clearly. However, living in devastating times, in the dragon’s mouth, Solarpunk/Hopepunk artists are not just describing the dragon’s teeth, the nasty heat, or the cramped, funky wasteland. We’re plotting a way out of no way. We’re crossing old borders and boundaries and making new maps for ourselves. We devise maps for the future we want. We work to reinvent ourselves. Hope is refusing to believe the tales the dragon would tell on you. Nothing is inevitable! The future is made by our choices. The question is, what stories do we tell? What futures do we conjure?
